Moxide

Moxide is a powerful tmux session manager written in Rust. It simplifies the process of creating and managing complex tmux sessions, allowing you to define and control multiple windows and commands effortlessly.

Features

• Declarative and Extensible: Define your sessions using simple YAML configuration files. Customize and extend your setup as needed.
• Single Binary: Moxide is distributed as a single binary. No runtime or interpreter is required, making it easy to install and run.
• Projects, Templates, and Directories: Unlike other session managers, Moxide supports directories, templates, and projects:
  • Directories: Easily create named sessions based on the directory you're working in.
  • Templates: Create reusable templates for common setups. For example, a JavaScript template could open nvim in one window and run npm commands in another.
  • Projects: Combine directories with templates to streamline workflows. You can specify a template for a project or directly define the windows and commands needed.

Installation

To install Moxide, use the following command:

cargo install moxide

Concepts

Directories

Directories allow you to create a named tmux session based on a specific directory, making it easy to create sessions for important directories.

Templates

Templates define the layout of windows, panes, and commands. They do not require a specific directory and can be customized for different programming languages or workflows. For example, a JavaScript template might open nvim in one window and run npm commands in another.

Projects

Projects combine directories and templates. You can specify a template to use with a directory or define the session setup directly within the project configuration. This flexibility helps you manage complex workflows more efficiently.
