Solution

First, make sure you have the subl command accessible from the command line: Open Sublime Text from Terminal in macOS

Next, in your .profile or .bashrc or wherever you keep your aliases, add:

#open diff in sublime. 
#ex: gd   
#ex: gd head^   
#ex: gd 7b3f441147f7c3c4b27bb7c9658aef27e3d0a5eb ee49bbc57f7376bc9f5c951e13808cb6b66be3d8
gd() {
    if [ $# -eq 0 ]
        then
            git diff | subl
        else
            git diff $@ | subl
    fi
}

And you can now open your diffs in sublime right from your terminal.
