# tmux-continuum
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
- continuous saving of tmux environment
|
|
- automatic tmux start when computer/server is turned on
|
|
- automatic restore when tmux is started
|
|
|
|
Together these features enable uninterrupted tmux usage. No matter the computer
|
|
or server restarts, if the machine is on, tmux will be there how you left it off
|
|
the last time it was used.
|
|
|
|
Tested and working on Linux, OSX and Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
#### Continuous saving
|
|
|
|
Tmux environment will be saved at the interval of 15 minutes. All the saving
|
|
happens in the background without the impact to your workflow.
|
|
|
|
This action starts automatically when the plugin is installed.
|
|
|
|
#### Automatic tmux start
|
|
|
|
Tmux is automatically started after the computer/server is turned on.
|
|
|
|
See the [instructions](docs/automatic_start.md) how to enable this for your
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
#### Automatic restore
|
|
|
|
Last saved environment is automatically restored when tmux is started.
|
|
|
|
Put `set -g @continuum-restore 'on'` in `.tmux.conf` to enable this.
|
|
|
|
Note: automatic restore happens **exclusively** on tmux server start. No other
|
|
action (e.g. sourcing `.tmux.conf`) triggers this.
|
|
|
|
#### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
`tmux 1.9` or higher, `bash`,
|
|
[tmux-resurrect](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect) plugin.
