tmux-ide

A command for managing tmux sessions for your projects.

What does it do?

Run ide path/to/my/project, and you'll find yourself within a nicely named tmux session with your favourite editor and lazygit ready to go.

The session will be tied to the folder/file location itself. You can detach it, do other work, and return back right where you were by running ide path/to/my/project again.

Additional niceties:

• You can freely use both relative and absolute paths as argument, as under the hood the session is always tied to the absolute path of the file/folder you provided.
• If the file or folder you opened is within a git repository and lazygit is installed, a secondary window with lazygit is opened in the repository root.

Dependencies

Psst: If configuring and installing all of these sounds like too much work, you can find preconfigured versions from boringconfigs.

Required

• tmux
• git

Optional but recommended

• lazygit for easier and quicker git actions.
• Helix to be used as your text editor, aka $EDITOR.
• fzf for fuzzy finding folders.

Usage

ide [path]

or, even better, if you have fzf installed, you can do

ide **<tab>

and fuzzy find your way to whereever you want to go.

Arguments

• path (optional) - Path to the project root directory or a file. If not provided, the current directory is used.

Installation

brew install EskelinenAntti/cli/tmux-ide
