== How to open and create non-existent files with Sublime Text from terminal? ==
1. First, edit your <code>.zshrc</code> file and remove the previously defined <code>subl</code> alias
2. Then add the new function definition
Open your <pre>.zshrc</pre> file:
<pre lang="bash">
vi ~/.zshrc
</pre>
3. Find and remove the previous "subl" alias line, which looks something like:
<pre lang="bash">
alias subl='open -a "Sublime Text"'
</pre>
Then add this function:
<pre lang="bash">
subl() {
  for f in "$@"; do
    [ -f "$f" ] || touch "$f"
  done
  open -a "Sublime Text" "$@"
}
</pre>
4. Save the file, then reload the configuration:
<pre lang="bash">
source ~/.zshrc
</pre>
5. Now it should work properly. Try creating a non-existent file:
<pre lang="bash">
subl non-exist.md
</pre>
This should create the "non-exist.md" file and open it in Sublime Text.
