Bash: mate : command not found [closed]

Question

Hi I am learning how to use Github online via Udemy course. The instructor is accessing textmate editor using MAC OS. However I am trying to access textmate editor in Windows 10. When in Git bash I type

 mate file_name.txt

It throws an error

bash: mate: command not found.

How can this be resolved. Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Text Mate works only in MAC OS and not in Windows. Sublime Text is a good editor to work with in Windows:

Steps to open Sublime Text from Git bash (after installing Sublime text first in system) are as follows:

In Git bash(you can open from Search) type the below 2 commands:

 alias subl="/c/Program\ Files/Sublime\ Text\ 3/sublime_text.exe"

 subl . 

Instead of subl . you can also open a specific file or create a new file using below:

 subl Filename.txt

This command subl Filename.txt will create a new file with name as Filename.txt otherwise will open an existing file with the same name if the file already exists.
