To add command line support for Sublime text under Mac OS X El Capitan, open the Terminal.app and run the following command :

sudo mkdir -p "/usr/local/bin/" && ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/subl

Edit:

In case you already have the directory /usr/local/bin/ on your system, just run the second part of the command (after the &&) :

sudo ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/subl
