Installation
------------
.. code-block:: shell
$ pip install --user tmuxp
Load a tmux session
-------------------
Load tmux sessions via json and YAML, `tmuxinator`_ and
`teamocil`_ style.
.. code-block:: yaml
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:
.. code-block:: sh
$ tmuxp load ./mysession.yaml
Projects with *.tmuxp.yaml* or *.tmuxp.json* load via directory:
.. code-block:: sh
$ tmuxp load path/to/my/project/
Load multiple at once (in bg, offer to attach last):
.. code-block:: sh
$ tmuxp load mysession ./another/project/
Name a session:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tmxup load -s session_name ./mysession.yaml
`simple`_ and `very elaborate`_ config examples
User-level configurations
-------------------------
tmuxp checks for configs in user directories:
- ``$TMUXP_CONFIGDIR``, if set
- ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME``, usually *$HOME/.config/tmuxp/*
- ``$HOME/.tmuxp/``
Load your tmuxp config from anywhere by using the filename, assuming
*~/.config/tmuxp/mysession.yaml* (or *.json*):
.. code-block:: sh
$ tmuxp load mysession
See `author's tmuxp configs`_ and the projects' `tmuxp.yaml`_.
Shell
-----
*New in 1.6.0*:
``tmuxp shell`` launches into a python console preloaded with the attached server,
session, and window in `libtmux`_ objects.
.. code-block:: shell
$ tmuxp shell
(Pdb) server
<libtmux.server.Server object at 0x7f7dc8e69d10>
(Pdb) server.sessions
[Session($1 your_project)]
(Pdb) session
Session($1 your_project)
(Pdb) session.name
'your_project'
(Pdb) window
Window(@3 1:your_window, Session($1 your_project))
(Pdb) window.name
'your_window'
(Pdb) window.panes
[Pane(%6 Window(@3 1:your_window, Session($1 your_project)))
(Pdb) pane
Pane(%6 Window(@3 1:your_window, Session($1 your_project))
Python 3.7+ supports `PEP 553`_ ``breakpoint()`` (including
``PYTHONBREAKPOINT``). Also supports direct commands via ``-c``:
.. code-block:: shell
$ tmuxp shell -c 'print(window.name)'
my_window
$ tmuxp shell -c 'print(window.name.upper())'
MY_WINDOW
Read more on `tmuxp shell`_ in the CLI docs.

Pre-load hook
-------------
Run custom startup scripts (such as installing project dependencies before
loading tmux. See the `bootstrap_env.py`_ and `before_script`_ example
Load in detached state
----------------------
You can also load sessions in the background by passing ``-d`` flag

Freeze a tmux session
---------------------
Snapshot your tmux layout, pane paths, and window/session names.
.. code-block:: sh
$ tmuxp freeze session-name
See more about `freezing tmux`_ sessions.
Convert a session file
----------------------
Convert a session file from yaml to json and vice versa.
.. code-block:: sh
$ tmuxp convert filename
This will prompt you for confirmation and shows you the new file that is going
to be written.
You can auto confirm the prompt. In this case no preview will be shown.
.. code-block:: sh
$ tmuxp convert -y filename
$ tmuxp convert --yes filename
Plugin System
-------------
tmuxp has a plugin system to allow for custom behavior. See more about the
`Plugin System`_.
Debugging Helpers
-----------------
The ``load`` command provides a way to log output to a log file for debugging
purposes.
.. code-block:: sh
$ tmuxp load --log-file <log-file-name> .
Collect system info to submit with a Github issue:
.. code-block:: sh
$ tmuxp debug-info
------------------
environment:
system: Linux
arch: x86_64
# ... so on
