Change highlight colour in Sublime Text 2

This worked for me.

Update ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages/Ruby/Ruby.sublime-build

{
  "env":{
      "PATH":"${HOME}/.rvm/bin:${PATH}"
  },
  "cmd": ["rvm-auto-ruby", "$file"],
  "file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)",
  "selector": "source.ruby"
}

The env part will add rvm-auto-ruby into the $PATH and the cmd will execute rvm-auto-ruby yourfile.rb when you press Cmd-B. You and add options in between rvm-auto-ruby if you want, like this `”cmd”: [“rvm-auto-ruby”, “-S”, “$file”].

Answering my own question here.

A follower on Twitter recommended Sublime FTP ($16), a third-party add-on by the author of Package Control, Will Bond.

For my own setup, I use his Sublime SFTP Solution which maps a local folder to the remote version. This setup allows me to quickly access my files.

Since working with remote files can come with some risk, I use Joel Thornton's Automatic Backups add-on to create a time-stamped backup of whatever file I have just saved. That way, in case something tragic happens, I can quickly roll back to an earlier version of my file.
