Install Package Manager for Sublime Editor

If you’re looking for a powerful text editor, I recommend Sublime Text. It’s not provided with all the features you might need, but it’s a great choice for basic web development, backend development, and scripting.

To install packages, we first need to install “PACKAGE CONTROL”. This tool will manage package management for sublime. To do this, we need to use the “CTRL + SHIFT + P” command. Type “Install Package Control” and press ENTER.

You can now start installing packages, listing packages, removing or disabling, etc. by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+P.

Then you can install “SideBarEnhancements” and see the difference. To install SideBar Enhancements – COMMAND PALLET [ CTRL + SHIFT + P ] → INSTALL PACKAGE → SIDE REINFORCEMENT

Sublime gives you the ability to change the color scheme and syntax. The color scheme will set the syntax colors for our code, while the theme will change the appearance of the UI.

sFTP

SFTP is a package that allows you to sync your projects/code (folders) on remote servers. This is very useful in many cases like when your production servers are running in the cloud and your development machine is local where you can sync your code with remote servers easily.

  2. Type “SFTP” and press Enter.

  6. Type “sftp-config.json” and press Enter to create the file in that folder if it doesn’t already exist. ..

This SFTP settings file contains information about the user and hostname, as well as the remote path to be used for uploading files. You can also enable options like “upload_on_save” which will sync your changes immediately when you save your local copy.

Right-click on the SFTP-CONFIG.JSON file and select “SFTP” from the context menu. Then click on the “Map to Remote” button to connect to your remote server.
