As Sublime Text 3 is around in public beta for quite some time, i thought i upgrade from my 2.x version to the new and – as it’s written on their homepage – faster version 3.
Ross Lawley has a perfect guide how to upgrade painlessly:

And thanks for the hint to check the compatibility of the plugins first on this great page:
http://www.caniswitchtosublimetext3.com/
Steps how i upgraded:
- download Sublime Text 3
- install package manager in Sublime Text 3 by showing the console (view -> show console) and entering this text:
import urllib.request,os; pf = 'Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); urllib.request.install_opener( urllib.request.build_opener( urllib.request.ProxyHandler()) ); open(os.path.join(ipp, pf), 'wb').write(urllib.request.urlopen( 'http://sublime.wbond.net/' + pf.replace(' ','%20')).read())
- using the package manager install all your (green) plugins you used on Sublime Text 2
- copy and paste user settings (Preferences -> Settings -> User)
- go to terminal and copy TM Themes, other settings and relink the commandline “subl” to the new version (i have ~/bin in my path):
$ cp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages/User/*.tmTheme* ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User/ $ rm ~/bin/subl $ ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 3.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl ~/bin/subl
Enjoy!
