tmuxp, a novel approach to manage tmux(1) (>= 1.8) workspaces through python objects, JSON or YAML.

How tmuxp helps you tmux:

• Save your most common tmux session layouts in JSON or YAML. See a simple or very elaborate configuration.
• Store layouts personally (~/.tmuxp) or include in your project, see ~/.tmuxp.{yaml,json}. See the author's tmuxp configs and the the projects' tmuxp.yaml.
• Freeze the layout of live sessions.
• Automate running such as sourcing into a virtualenv. The configuration also supports per window commands where all panes inherit commands. See Examples.
• Run a bootstrapping script to check environment / install dependencies / setup project before loading starts so your development works across systems. See this projects bootstrap_env.py and before_script example.
• Load tmux sessions in the background by passing -d flag.
• Load multiple tmux configurations tmuxp load config1.yaml config2.yaml.
• Switch sessions from inside a current tmux session. tmuxp will detect if you're in a session and offer to switch-client for you.
• Offer to re-attach a tmux session if your config is already loaded.
• For more things you can do with tmuxp, see Examples.
• CLI auto-completion with bash, zsh and tcsh.
• Use as a python library, see the python API quickstart.
• Well tested a gain against live tmux (1.8+ and git). See travis.yml, tmuxp on Travis CI and testing page.
• Import configs teamocil and tmuxinator.
• Thorough Documentation (also in 中文), Source, Commands, Internals.
• and much, much more.
