How to open a new file in a another tab instead of a new window in Atom editor?
I have already an atom editor window open in my Linux and I try running the atom from the terminal to open another file:
atom /path/to/new_file.txt
Every time atom tries to open a new window, when opening a new file instead of opening a new tab in the currently open atom editor. Is there is a way to tell atom (via a config or something) not open a new window if there is an atom window already open?

Is there is a way to tell atom (via a config or something) not open a new window?
atom -n false /path/to/new_file.txt
Where:
-n, --new-window Open a new window. [boolean]
Source Open file/project from terminal / command line - features - Atom Discussion:
atom --help
Atom Editor v0.80.0
Usage: atom [options] [file …]
Options:
-d, --dev Run in development mode. [boolean]
-f, --foreground Keep the browser process in the foreground. [boolean]
-h, --help Print this usage message. [boolean]
-l, --log-file Log all output to file. [string]
-n, --new-window Open a new window. [boolean]
-s, --spec-directory Set the spec directory (default: Atom’s spec directory). [string]
-t, --test Run the specified specs and exit with error code on failures. [boolean]
-v, --version Print the version. [boolean]
-w, --wait Wait for window to be closed before returning. [boolean]
Does atom have rc file or global config so I can set this option as default there?
Atom loads configuration settings from the
config.csonfile in your%USERPROFILE%.atomdirectory.
However the --new-window option is not one of the configurable options.
