Follow these instructions to get up and running:

• Clone the repo

How to Prevent Sublime Text from Opening Files at Startup

If you don't like the Sublime Text default behavior of opening files from your last session, here is a little trick for you.

Go to Preferences --> Settings - User and add the following settings:

 "remember_open_files": false,  
 "hot_exit": false  

Then, all you have to do is to restart Sublime Text one more time.

This has been tested with Sublime Text 2 but it should work with ST 3 as well.

Two-Factor Authentication with Authy REST APIs

Ahoy! I've recently joined Twilio as a Solutions Architect in the Authy team and got my hands right away on the REST APIs we provide you to make it easier to get started with Two-Factor Authentication. Then, I put together a set of scripts that you can use to get started, test and play around with the API request and response.

Feel free to clone the GitHub repo and provide feedback if you want.
