tmuxp, tmux session manager. built on libtmux.

New to tmux? Pre-order a copy of my new book The Tao of tmux on Leanpub and Amazon Kindle, or for free on the web. Scheduled for release January 2017.

Load tmux sessions via json and YAML, tmuxinator and teamocil style.

session_name: 4-pane-split
windows:
- window_name: dev window
  layout: tiled
  shell_command_before:
    - cd ~/                    # run as a first command in all panes
  panes:
    - shell_command:           # pane no. 1
        - cd /var/log          # run multiple commands in this pane
        - ls -al | grep \.log
    - echo second pane         # pane no. 2
    - echo third pane          # pane no. 3
    - echo forth pane          # pane no. 4

Save as mysession.yaml. And load:

$ tmuxp load ./mysession.yaml

Sessions in ~/.tmuxp/ can use names:

$ tmuxp load mysession

Projects with .tmuxp.yaml or .tmuxp.json load via directory:

$ tmuxp load path/to/my/project/

Load multiple at once (in bg, offer to attach last):

$ tmuxp load mysession ./another/project/ 

simple, very elaborate config examples

Store configs in (~/.tmuxp) or include in your project as ~/.tmuxp.{yaml,json}. See author's tmuxp configs and the the projects' tmuxp.yaml.

Run custom startup scripts (such as installing project dependencies before loading tmux. See the bootstrap_env.py and before_script example

You can also load sessions in the background by passing -d flag

snapshot your tmux layout, pane paths, and window/session names.

$ tmuxp freeze SESSION_NAME

See more about freezing tmux sessions.
