Tmuxifier — One Up Your Tmux Game
I have discovered a powerful little tool to aid me in my quest to fully grasp the benefits of the Tmux world. I discovered it through Typecraft in one of his excellent Youtube videos. It’s a tool that helps you open a dev environment for any project in Tmux with all the right windows ready so you can get cracking on those code tweaks as soon as possible. It’s also been around for a while so has stood the test of time (which is saying something in this day and age!).
What Does Tmuxifier do?
According to the Tmuxifier Github page, Tmuxifier helps you Create, edit, manage and load complex Tmux session, window and pane configurations with ease.
This basically means if you have one Tmux window open where is your terminal, another Tmux window open which are you tests and another Tmux window which is your editor and all of these are for a specific project you can create a Tmuxifier window layout to define these. With one command in the terminal you can be up and running and get cracking on your work.
This might be clearer with an actual example…
