# tmuxifier
|
|
|
|
Tmuxify your Tmux. Create, edit and load complex Tmux session, window and pane
|
|
configurations with ease.
|
|
|
|
Tmuxifier is inspired by 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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which will yield a window looking like this:
|
|
|
|
<div style="text-align: center">
|
|
<img src="https://github.com/jimeh/tmuxifier/raw/master/examples/example.window-screenshot.png" alt="example" />
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
## 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 `$TMUXIFIER` to that path, additionally loading `init.sh` from
|
|
that same path.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export TMUXIFIER="$HOME/.dotfiles/tmuxifier"
|
|
[[ -s "$TMUXIFIER/init.sh" ]] && source "$TMUXIFIER/init.sh"
|
|
```
