GMux
Another Tmux Manager... but in Golang
Installation
Go
go get github.com/davinche/gmux
Mac
brew install davinche/tools/gmux
Usage
Editor
Like tmuxinator, gmux uses your shell's EDITOR to edit configurations.
A default editor can specified via export EDITOR=youreditor
Shell Completion
An install script is provided to enable gmux completion. When installed via homebrew, the script is located under /usr/local/Cellar/gmux/{VERSION}/install_completion.sh
Running it will generate a shell completion file under your $HOME
directory by the name .gmux.bash
and/or .gmux.zsh
.
Source these files files in your .bashrc
or .zshrc
to enable completion.
The installer will provide the option to add these sources to your .shellrc automatically.
Help for CLI Usage
Once installed, usage information can be viewed via gmux --help
.
Configuration
To create a new profile, just run the following command.
gmux new <name>
This will create a new file in $HOME/.gmux/<name>
.

About
Gmux is heavily inspired by tmuxinator. For the time being, use Tmuxinator if you want a more featureful Tmux manager. Currently Gmux only offers a basic subset of tmuxinator's capabilities.
