What Hacker News says
3 sourcesYeah sorry, I'll get to it when I'm back on my laptop. On top of that I made a ridiculously stupid typo before committing so anyone who downloaded it is probably really wondering wtf right now (so if you want to try it, please redownload the release or rebuild from git: https://github.com/ianclarksmith/Bossman/releases/tag/0.0.1).
- Open the app
- Alt-click the status icon and peek at the prefs
- (Optional) If you use Terminal, set Command-Enter to
osascript /full/path/to/Bossman.app/Contents/Resources/Attach in Terminal.scpt
- Type a command and press enter. Type another command and press command+enter. You've seen the whole thing.
- Everything in a tmux-session called (by default) "bossman-app" so you don't lose history, can check up on things, etc.
