I just set up a good solution for this, it requires dropbox. I am currently using this to sync plugins and settings across ~5 different sublime installs on windows, linux, osx, and a few vm's.

• Step 1: use PackageControl to manage all your plugins, its awesome.

• Step 2: Add a "Sublime" directory to your root drop-box directory (I replicated the full directory structure for the hell of it, {DropBox}/Sublime/Packages/User). Make sure sublime is closed, and move the contents of {SublimeRoot}/Packages/User in to the dropbox directory you just made. Delete {SublimeRoot}/Packages/User, and replace it with a symlink that points to {DropBox}/Sublime/Packages/User.

Use this same process on every computer where you use sublime, it accomplishes 2 things.

• 1) The contents of your User/ directory are synced, so all your custom settings are the same across machines.

• 2) Every time PackageControl starts up, it checks the Package Control.sublime-settings in your User/ directory. If if finds a plugin that should be installed according to the settings, but isn't actually installed, it automatically installs it, no questions asked.

Setting up another computer with this solution simply requires sublime and package control to be installed, then just delete the {SublimeRoot}/Packages/User/ directory and point it to the copy in dropbox with a symbolic link. Next time you fire up sublime, package control will automatically install all your plugins.

Creating the symbolic links: execute from the {Sublime}/Packages directory

• Windows: mklink /D .\User C:\Users\[username]\Dropbox\Sublime\Packages\User
• Linux/OSX: ln -s {DropboxRoot}/Sublime/Packages/User ./User

BACKUP SUBLIME TEXT

1. Copy files from C:\Users\[userName]\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\
   The file location can be found by using - Open Sublime Text -> Browse Packages
2. Close Sublime Text
3. Backup all the folder from Sublime Text 2 Folder
   a. Sublime Text 2/Installed Packages
   b. Sublime Text 2/Packages
   c. Sublime Text 2/Pristine Packages
   d. Sublime Text 2/Settings

NEW INSTALLATION

• Now replace all the backup files in new installation C:\Users\[NewUserName]\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\
• The file location can be found by using - Open Sublime Text -> Browse Packages
• Close Sublime Text
• If you get error unable to save work-space
  1. Create a new Project
  2. Save Project
  3. Exit
  4. Restart Sublime Text

Add directory ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages to git repository. For example bitbucket. So you can commit after any changes with plugins and settings. If something failes with sublime text2 you can easy rollback.

All you need to do is copy the following files from the old MacOs computer:

~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/Package Control.sublime-settings ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings

Also make sure you find the old email with the license you purchased, and make note of the disabled packages, as those may not be disabled when you restart the app with the new config.

Then on the new MacOs:

1. install the ST3
2. install PackageControl
3. Copy the files over to ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/
4. Restart the application
5. NOTE: You may have to restart it a few times, it can be buggy until the config reinstalls all the packages from the .sublime-settings files.

You don't need all the settings packages in the User directory, those will automatically be reinstalled on restart. I guess it wouldn't hurt to grab them all, but usually new Mac == new settings. The "Package Control.sublime-settings" will automatically install all the packages listed in it.

I am about to migrate Macs, I will update this when that is completed to verify it works!
