Package Control is the official package manager for the Sublime Text editor, letting users discover, install, and auto-update packages from a catalog of thousands. It is distributed as a .sublime-package file and managed entirely through the Command Palette.

Use cases

• install packages in sublime text
• keep sublime text plugins up to date
• find themes and color schemes for sublime text
• sync packages across machines
• publish a package to the sublime text channel
• manage dependencies for a sublime text package

When to choose

• you use Sublime Text and want to install or update plugins, themes, or syntaxes
• you are a package developer submitting packages to the default channel
• you need to sync editor packages across multiple machines or OSes

When to avoid

• you use VS Code, Vim, or another editor with its own package ecosystem
• you need a general-purpose Python package manager like pip
• you run an air-gapped environment where the channel server is unreachable
