Where Does Sublime Merge Store Settings?

Sublime Merge packages, settings and license per OS.

Last updated

Sublime Merge keeps preferences, keymaps, themes and host keys in per-OS app-data folders shared in spirit with Sublime Text, but under its own vendor tree. Repos themselves stay wherever you cloned them.

Copy Packages/User before theme experiments and machine moves. SSH host trust lives here too, so new machines prompt again.
