About:
Tmex is a command-line tool that generates tmux session configurations from a simple project file. It allows developers to define window layouts, pane splits, and startup commands in a declarative format. This streamlines the process of setting up complex development environments within tmux.
Key Features:
  • Declarative configuration via a simple project file
  • Automated creation of tmux sessions, windows, and panes
  • Support for custom startup commands for each pane
  • Lightweight and dependency-free
Use Cases:
  • Standardizing development environments across a team
  • Quickly launching a multi-pane setup for microservices debugging
  • Automating terminal workspace setup for project switching
Alternatives:
  • tmuxinator – Tmuxinator is a more established tool with similar functionality, though Tmex is often considered lighter weight.
  • tmuxp – tmuxp offers JSON and YAML support and integrates with the libtmux library for more complex scripting.
