# Screencast script
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Intro
|
||||||
|
========
|
||||||
|
Let's demo tmux resurrect plugin.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tmux resurrect enables persisting tmux sessions, so it can survive the dreaded
|
||||||
|
system restarts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The benefit is uninterrupted workflow with no configuration required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Working session
|
||||||
|
==================
|
||||||
|
Script
|
||||||
|
------
|
||||||
|
Let me show you what I have in this tmux demo session.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First of all, I have vim open and it has a couple files loaded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then there's a tmux window with a couple splits in various directories across
|
||||||
|
the system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next window contains tmux man page,
|
||||||
|
and then there's `htop` program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And this is just one of many projects I'm currently running.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Actions
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
- blank tmux window
|
||||||
|
- vim
|
||||||
|
- `ls` to show open files
|
||||||
|
- multiple pane windows (3)
|
||||||
|
- man tmux
|
||||||
|
- htop
|
||||||
|
- psql
|
||||||
|
- show a list of session
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Saving the environment
|
||||||
|
=========================
|
||||||
|
Script
|
||||||
|
------
|
||||||
|
With vanilla tmux, when I restart the computer this whole environment will be
|
||||||
|
lost and I'll have to invest time to restore it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
tmux resurrect gives you the ability to persist everything with
|
||||||
|
prefix plus alt-s.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now tmux environment is saved and I can safely shut down tmux with a
|
||||||
|
kill server command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Actions
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
- prefix + M-s
|
||||||
|
- :kill-server
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Restoring the environment
|
||||||
|
============================
|
||||||
|
Script
|
||||||
|
------
|
||||||
|
At this point restoring everything back is easy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'll fire up tmux again. Notice it's completely empty.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now, I'll press prefix plus alt-r and everything will restore.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Let's see how things look now.
|
||||||
|
First of all, I'm back to the exact same window I was in when the environment
|
||||||
|
was saved. Second - you can see the `htop` program was restored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Going back there's tmux man page
|
||||||
|
a window with multiple panes with the exact same layout as before
|
||||||
|
and vim.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
tmux resurrect takes special care of vim. By leveraging vim's sessions, it
|
||||||
|
preserves vim's split windows, open files, even the list of files edited before.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Check out the project readme for more details about special treatment for vim.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That was just one of the restored tmux sessions. If I open tmux session list you
|
||||||
|
can see all the other projects are restored as well.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you see all these programs running you might be concerned that this plugin
|
||||||
|
started a lot of potentially destructive processes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, when you restore tmux you don't want to accidentally start backups,
|
||||||
|
resource intensive or sensitive programs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There's no need to be worried though. By default, this plugin starts only a
|
||||||
|
conservative list of programs like vim, less, tail, htop and similar.
|
||||||
|
This list of programs restored by default is in the project readme. Also, you
|
||||||
|
can easily add more programs to it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you feel paranoid, there's an option that prevents restoring any program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Actions
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
- tmux
|
||||||
|
- prefix + M-r
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- open previous windows
|
||||||
|
- in vim hit :ls
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- prefix + s for a list of panes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. Outro
|
||||||
|
========
|
||||||
|
That's it for this demo. I hope you'll find tmux resurrect useful.
