tmuxp

are 2 other books available in the now. I prefer my style of writing about tmux and teaching, since I maintain a few open source libraries for tmux I bring my own perspective along. Also I'd rather stay away from publishers, again, I prefer a book that's available for free to read on the web, DRM-free if you pay, and not have to worry about printing :). It's my first book ever so I feel a lot of pressure to get it done right. I'm definitely open to feedback and requests to add things. I feel a duty to make a really good book for the community. Any help to spread the word is much appreciated!

e are times where I won’t re-open a project for a few months, so I need to be able to “snap back into” a familiar environment. - tmuxp [1], a session manager for tmux. It allows using a .tmuxp.yaml file [2] to load a project workspace in combination with a bootstrap file [3] to automatically launch a tmux environment with tests, documentation, etc. I mimic this workflow in all my other projects. It has worked for me across OS X, Linux, FreeBSD. On local and ssh machines. No IDE required. Passively, another thing I do is document very well. If its python, I keep docstrings, autodoc for API generation and sphinx everywhere. Even personal projects I do at work have sphinx docs for other developers to peruse. I’m consciously doing everything possible to be helpful to other programmers on the project. Give them API docs, examples, as much as you can. - vcspull [4] is a tool I use to declaratively manage projects in a yaml file [5]. When I want to update I just type ‘vcspull project1 project2 project3’. What’s nice is being able to pattern match projects I have, ‘vcspull django-\*’ to grab django extensions. On projects I patch, I add my fork as a remote to keep it in sync. So the above are my taste. YMMV. Here are some other things: For C/C++ projects / libs, stuff like CMake [6] for build systems is great. Gets me a build that finds libs on OS X, FreeBSD and Linux. I’ve ported windows only projects in SDL2 to work across all 3 easily thanks to it. There are other mindset things, try to strike a balance between being opinionated in your own flow (as I am), because you’re going to have another person who swears to Eclipse, then another one to Atom, you can’t make everyone happy. Invest in things universally helpful (api documentation, tests, linting), they end up helping you in the end no matter where your project ends up: Even if you wrote stuff, if you don’t document, you’ll be at a loss when you wrote stuff a year ago “Did I really write that”? With other developers, they can't read your mind, they keep into the grind faster when you explained what your project does and what your code quality / expectations are.

sd/os x terminal often, if you ever do, i highly recommend giving screen[3] or tmux a shot. tmux the benefit to using the terminal means tmux lets you do a couple things: - split your terminal into multiple PTY's (panes) and windows, copy and paste between them. No GUI required - "detach" the tmux sesssion, sending it (and any shells/applications running in the panes) to the background, and come back later to reattach - it is also seamless to SSH into a server and work from there, since there's no GUI involved, you can use the same workflow on OS X, Linux or BSD machines. I write in detail about tmux here: http://tmuxp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about_tmux.html tmux configuration a good amount of developers use screen or tmux on a regular basis. over time, a variety of plugins have popped up. tmuxinator[4], teamocil[5] and tmuxp[6] (my own, written in python) being ways to load pre-configured sessions from a YAML file. scripting / automating tmux with libtmux so here is where libtmux comes in, it can be used to control tmux via python objects, which can be very handy in situations where you want to interface with tmux at a low level expressively. it is possible to script things via shell, but there's no way to know the state or easily traverse through the tree of Server -> Sessions -> Windows -> Panes. tmuxp uses libtmux under the hood a way to build sessions[7]. other developers have used tmuxp[8]* for scripting tmux to the workflow of their projects. * note: I link to `import tmuxp` because the API would formerly be in that project for the past few years. libtmux decouples the core into its own library.

ists for this. > Yet tmuxomatic is more flexible and more powerful than other tmux session managers. http://tmuxp.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart_python.htm... + http://tmuxp.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api.html You can't get more powerful and flexible than having an API that basically runs at a parity to tmux's data model and commands. That said, anything that spreads the word about tmux and makes it easier for people to use is a good thing. I think the real pain point in CLI is even with modern (neo)vim/emacs, we don't have anything close to an Atom or Intellij suite for "just works" completion. If you've had better luck with completion - I'm happy for you. [1] https://github.com/tony/tmuxp

s to be. That said, on the tmuxp side of things, a lot could be improved. For example, switching tmuxp to use control mode (-C) and filing smaller patches to expand control mode's events in tmux(1). [1] https://github.com/jonathanslenders/ptpython
