This is a script based on the old TextMate import script that ship(ped) with YASnippet for Emacs.

This script is focussed only on .sublime-snippet files, and ignores commands or macros or whatever else might exist in the SublimeText universe (I'm largely ignorant of it TBH.) What I do know is there's a lot of snippets I want to harvest from it and bring into Emacs, and I'll be hornswoggled if I'm going to do that mucky business by hand.

So instead here's a script which will take care of it, with a few extra bells and whistles thrown in for good measure.

gem install sublime2yas

gem uninstall sublime2yas

For help run sublime2yas --help from the command line on a single folder of SublimeText Snippets.

sublime2yas -d SublimeSnippetsFolder -o YasnippetsFolder

Process one folder at a time, if you want to process a whole tree of folders, you'll have to walk them using find or another weapon of choice.

I'd recommend you convert a folder at a time, not for any technical reason, but simply so that you can learn and use the snippets you're importing.

Options:
    --snippet-dir, -d <s>:   Sublime-snippet directory
     --output-dir, -o <s>:   Output directory, use the major-mode name you are targeting as the containing folder's name, e.g.
                             snippets/major-mode
     --major-mode, -m <s>:   Explicit setting of major-mode if the folder name is different
   --parent-modes, -p <s>:   List of Yasnippet parent modes as a quoted string eg. "cc-mode,text-mode"
           --glob, -g <s>:   Specific snippet file (or glob) inside <snippet_dir>, default is *.sublime-snippet (default:
                             *.sublime-snippet)
  --snippet-group, -G <s>:   Yasnippet group: to use in generated snippets, eg. -G rails to add 'group: rails' to each snippet. They will
                             appear in submenu's on the major-mode Yasnippet menu
              --quiet, -q:   quiet output
                --doc, -c:   generate a quick reference in markdown format, listing the shortcut and description. Stored in the
                             --output-dir as QUICKREF.md
               --help, -h:   Show this message

When using the --doc or -c option a quick reference / cheatsheet is generated in the --output-dir as QUICKREF.md. See this example
