    • Holy. Wow. This is the most exciting thing that I've seen this weekend. I've created hacks on hacks to get around this problem. I'm SO happy about this! Thank you!

    • Wow, this is great! I've gone weeks without software updates because I didn't want to lose my tmux session.

  • Useful for people who live in tmux

    • This looks really cool. There are a lot of people (like me) who live in tmux and I'm really surprised this hadn't been done earlier.

Objections

  • Restoring commands by default is risky

  • Saving did not work for one user with Alt+s shortcut

    From 1 comment
    • Cool stuff. But doesn't work for me. It's not saving when I press prefix+Alt+s. Anyone with the same experience? I'm on MBP, tmux 1.9a.

Questions

  • Does it re-run commands automatically?

    • It pretty clearly says it only runs a very small subset of commands. "Only a conservative list of programs is restored by default: vi vim emacs man less more tail top htop irssi."

Alternatives named

  • tmuxp

    From 1 comment
    • I also really love tmuxp, which lets you save tmux sessions as json files and save/reload them later. Great for setting up tmux sessions for different workflows.…

  • tmuxinator

    • I use tmuxinator to launch services I need, then I just kill the session when I'm done. https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator

    • Check out tmuxinator: https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator. You can create configurations for your projects that specify windows, panes, which apps to run, etc. It's great…
