I'm following Ruby on Rails 5 Basic. We're now asked to edit things in the editor, when did we download an editor?

The nested tree editor, not the command line interface. Did I miss a video or something?

Right, Sublime is not my favorite... anymore, it's just the one recommended in the video I believe.

It's up to you what editor you choose really. I believe most, if not all, of the treehouse instructors use Sublime Text but there are others available.

Now that I'm half way through this tutorial, how do I open the project in sublime text?

You probably already worked this out by now but in the terminal once you've used 'cd' to move into the directory where your project lives you can type 'subl .' in the terminal and it will open the project file in a sublime text window. Alternatively there should be an option inside sublime (probably in the 'file' menu) that says "Add project folder" then you just want to navigate through your folders until you reach your project and open it from there.

Personally I use atom so I'm not 100% certain where the "add project folder" option is in sublime but it's probably in the same place.
