          • And after Sublime Text 3 goes from beta do I have to do something to have stable version or? And how to update when new build is released (from terminal or from gui, doesn't matter)?

          The usual command for Sublime Text is subl:



          From subl --help:



          $ subl --help
          Sublime Text build 3065

          Usage: sublime_text [arguments] [files] edit the given files
          or: sublime_text [arguments] [directories] open the given directories

          Arguments:
          --project <project>: Load the given project
          --command <command>: Run the given command
          -n or --new-window: Open a new window
          -a or --add: Add folders to the current window
          -w or --wait: Wait for the files to be closed before returning
          -b or --background: Don't activate the application
          -h or --help: Show help (this message) and exit
          -v or --version: Show version and exit

          Filenames may be given a :line or :line:column suffix to open at a specific
          location.


          Hence, to get the version:



          $ subl -v
          Sublime Text Build 3065


          As Glutanimate noted, you can get the version from the Help menu, from About Sublime Text:



          enter image description here

            @B.Mr.W. Same here. I'm guessing 3000–3999 represents version 3, but if so it would be nice to see that actually stated somewhere, especially since builds are usually given sequentially increasing system-generated numbers.

          From the Sublime Text Unofficial Documentation:



          You can create a symbolic lynk sudo ln -s /opt/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text /usr/bin/sublime. "/opt" being the dir where you installed Sublime.



          The Documentation also shows how to add Sublime to the Unity Launcher if you wish.

              I saw Build 3065 in the screenshot and cannot even figure out it is sublime 2 or sublime 3...

              @B.Mr.W. Same here. I'm guessing 3000–3999 represents version 3, but if so it would be nice to see that actually stated somewhere, especially since builds are usually given sequentially increasing system-generated numbers.

            From the Sublime Text Unofficial Documentation:



            You can create a symbolic lynk sudo ln -s /opt/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text /usr/bin/sublime. "/opt" being the dir where you installed Sublime.



            The Documentation also shows how to add Sublime to the Unity Launcher if you wish.
