Load a tmux session

Load tmux sessions via json and YAML,tmuxinator andteamocil style.

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:

$ tmuxp load ./mysession.yaml

Projects with .tmuxp.yaml or .tmuxp.json load via directory:

$ tmuxp load path/to/my/project/

Load multiple at once (in bg, offer to attach last):

$ tmuxp load mysession ./another/project/

Name a session:

$ tmxup load -s session_name ./mysession.yaml

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):

$ tmuxp load mysession

See author's tmuxp configs andthe projects'tmuxp.yaml.

Shell

New in 1.6.0:

tmuxp shell launches into a python console preloaded with the attachedserver, session, and window inlibtmux objects.

$ 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 PEP553 breakpoint()(including PYTHONBREAKPOINT). Also supports direct commands via -c:

$ tmuxp shell -c 'print(window.name)'
my_window

$ tmuxp shell -c 'print(window.name.upper())'
MY_WINDOW

Pre-load hook

Run custom startup scripts (such as installing project dependenciesbefore loading tmux. See thebootstrap_env.pyandbefore_scriptexample

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.
