tmuxinator

declarative tmux session manager. define layouts in YAML, spin them up with one command.

installed via: brew install tmuxinator (also has completion: brew install tmuxinator-completion)

usage:

• mux dev2 — spins up the full dev environment (aliased via alias md="mux dev2")
• mux dev2 ~/code/projectname — opens dev layout at a specific project directory
• pj myproject — the init_project function creates ~/code/myproject and opens it in a mux dev2 session

what it does: creates pre-defined window splits, names, and starting commands so you don't manually rebuild your workspace every time. combined with tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum for persistence, the full tmux setup means you essentially never lose your workspace.
