+# tmuxifier
+
+Tmuxify your Tmux. Create, edit and load complex Tmux session, window and pane
+configurations with ease.
+
+Tmuxifier is inspired the excellent [tmuxinator][] Project. While tmuxinator
+is childishly easy to configure with it's YAML project files, it's also
+restricting me from the kind of powerful control I want over Tmux.
+
+[tmuxinator]: https://github.com/aziz/tmuxinator
+
+To solve this problem, I opted for shell scripts with pretty helper functions
+instead of the cleaner but more limiting YAML config files. This allows you to
+create pre-defined session and window layouts with panes spit exactly as you
+like. You will need to be very familiar with a few of Tmux's commands however.
+
+## Example
+
+Given with have a window layout file called `example.window.sh` which looks
+like:
+
+```bash
+window_name "Example Window"
+window_root "~/Desktop"
+tmux new-window -t "$session" -n "$window"
+tmux split-window -t "$session:$window.0" -v -p 20 "watch -t date"
+tmux split-window -t "$session:$window.1" -h -p 60
+tmux select-pane -t "$session:$window.0"
+```
+
+You can then load that window layout into a new window in the
+current tmux session using:
+
+```bash
+tmuxifier window example
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/jimeh/tmuxifier.git ~/.tmuxifier
+```
+
+And add the following to your `~/.profile` or equivalent:
+
+```bash
+[[ -s "$HOME/.tmuxifier/init.sh" ]] && source "$HOME/.tmuxifier/init.sh"
+```
+
+### Custom Installaton Path
+
+To install Tmuxifier to a custom path, clone the repository to your desired
+path, and set `$TMUXIFIER` to that path. For example:
+
+```bash
+export TMUXIFIER="$HOME/.dotfiles/tmuxifier"
+[[ -s "$TMUXIFIER/init.sh" ]] && source "$TMUXIFIER/init.sh"
+```
