    Programmatically using sed, you can run this command to comment the deb-src line of download.sublimetext.com :

    sudo sed -e '\@deb-src https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/@ s@^#*@#@' -i /etc/apt/sources.list

    The results will be the same.

    Open up `/etc/apt/sources.list` through `nano` as root. 
    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

    Hit Ctrl + W, type deb-src https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/ on the search bar, then you can put # in beginning of the line to comment it— you can also delete the line altogether.

    Run sudo apt update again, see if you'll get the same errors.
