Synchronising your Sublime Text 2 preferences with Dropbox

================================================================================

I use Sublime Text 2 (http://www.sublimetext.com/2) both at work and at home,
and it’s hard to manually keep my settings/packages in sync.

I decided to use Dropbox (http://db.tt/rQKT8rQ) to keep my packages/preferences
for Sublime Text 2 in one place, and then I created a symbolic link from the
Dropbox directory to the Application Support directory for Sublime Text 2:

Mac OS (and Linux)

ln -sfF "~/Dropbox/Application Settings/Sublime Text 2/Packages/"
"~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages"

This command will create a symbolic link of the Packages directory stored in my
Dropbox in the Sublime Text 2 directory, meaning that any computer I set up in
this way will use the same settings/packages.

Windows

mklink /D "C:\Users\Max\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages"
"C:\Users\Max\Dropbox\Application Settings\Sublime Text 2\Packages"
