			== How to open files with your favorite editor from the terminal? ==

			1. Open your shell config file:
			<pre>
			vi ~/.zshrc # for zsh
			vi ~/.bashrc # for bash
			</pre>

			2. Add an alias for your editor:
			<pre>
			# VS Code
			alias code="open -a 'Visual Studio Code'"
			<pre>

			Tip: Not sure of the exact app name? Run this to find it:
			<pre>
			ls /Applications/ \| grep -i "visual\\|cursor\\|zed\\|sublime"
			</pre>

			The name must exactly match the `.app` filename in `/Applications/` (without the `.app` extension).

			3. Reload your config:
			<pre>
			source ~/.zshrc # for zsh
			source ~/.bashrc # for bash
			</pre>


			One-liner shortcut:
			<pre>
			RC_FILE="$HOME/.$(basename $SHELL)rc"
			echo 'alias code="open -a Visual\ Studio\ Code"' >> "$RC_FILE"
			source "$RC_FILE"
			</pre>

			This function creates a command <code>subl</code> that opens files in Sublime Text while automatically creating any non-existent files:

			# <code>for f in "$@"</code> - Loops through each filename you provide
			# <code>[ -f "$f" ] \|\| touch "$f"</code> - Checks if each file exists, creates it if not
			# <code>open -a "Sublime Text" "$@"</code> - Opens all files in Sublime Text

			Simply put: It ensures all files exist before opening them in Sublime Text, preventing "file not found" errors.
