How to create quick access to programs through Terminal in Mac os?

Question

bash

Hello, not long ago I watched a review of Sublime Text 2 on YouTube, and there the reviewer had the Mac Os operating system, he simply opened the terminal and wrote the following "Sub" and the Sublime Text 2 program opened. Or say "Sub index.html" and the file index.html opened in Sublime text 2 ready for editing. Also with Google Chrome and other installed programs on his Mac. How to do it?

Answer 2

Have you watched Sorex?
it is better to store aliases in username/.bash_profile, also in this file you can configure everything else
specifically for launching the sublime here:

alias sub="open -a /Applications/Sublime\ text.app"

PS this is for ST 3, for the second it will be necessary to correct the path
