Muxed - “Another TMUX project manager”

Build Status

Drop muxed in to your $PATH and take it for a spin. Happy to receive feature requests or bug reports!

Muxed

Muxed: Provides the functionality for creating, opening and parsing your project configs to launch a TMUX session.

Snapshot: Experimental : Create a config file based on a running tmux session.

Installation

Download a release:

See the releases page for muxed packages. Download and untar the package as desired. Make sure the bin is somewhere in your $PATH. I generally move the bins in to /usr/local/bin.

$ tar -xvzf muxed-VERSION-SYSTEM.tar.gz
x muxed
$ mv muxed /usr/local/bin
$ muxed --help
$ muxed my_new_project

From Homebrew taps

This will add a tap to install a pre-compiled Muxed bin.

$ brew tap brianp/homebrew-muxed
$ brew install muxed_bin

For development

With Docker

Docker commands are long so I use a make file that points all the commands to a runing docker container.

$ git clone [email protected]:brianp/muxed.git
$ export MUXED_ENV=nix
$ make build
$ make start
$ make cargo cmd='test --workspace --color=always'

From source:

Have rust stable installed. Clone this repo. Then run cargo to build the source, and again use cargo to run the app.

$ git clone [email protected]:brianp/muxed.git
$ cargo build
$ cargo run -- --help
$ cargo test --workspace --color=always

Setup

1. Create a new project file.

If this is your first run, muxed will create the ~/.muxed/ directory for you.

$ muxed new my_project
Looks like this is your first time here. Muxed could't find the configuration directory: `/root/.muxed`
Creating that now 👌

✌ The template file my_project.yml has been written to /root/.muxed
Happy tmuxing!

The generated template will look like this (but with some inline docs):

root: "~/"
windows:
  - editor:
      layout: "main-vertical"
      panes: ["vi", "ls -alh"]
  - processes: "ls /proc"
  - logs: "tail -f /var/log/dmesg"

This config will create a new tmux session with three windows named editor, processes and logs. By default your view will be on the first window opened, on the first pane, which in this case is vi in the editor window. The first window will have two panes split vertically, the left will have the editor vi running and the right will have a shell listing of your current working directory.

2. Edit your template

Now you can use your favourite editor and make changes to the config as desired. This makes the assumption you have an $EDITOR env var set.

$ muxed edit my_project

3. Open TMUX with your muxed config

$ muxed my_project

Inspiration

This project has been inspired by the work done on the tmuxinator project. Check it out for a ruby based tmux session management solution.
