Use Cases

Tmux Sessionizer

Use workspaces with a tmux session tool to open new tmux sessions directly at the path of a project:

if [[ $# -eq 1 ]]; then
  selected=$1
else
  selected=$(workspaces list projects | fzf)
fi

if [[ -z $selected ]]; then
  exit 0
fi

selected_name=$(basename "$selected" | tr . _)
tmux_running=$(pgrep tmux)

if [[ -z $TMUX ]] && [[ -z $tmux_running ]]; then
  tmux new-session -s $selected_name -c $selected
  exit 0
fi

if ! tmux has-session -t=$selected_name 2> /dev/null; then
  tmux new-session -ds $selected_name -c $selected
fi

tmux switch-client -t $selected_name

Restore Git Clones

(Pending Feature)

Accidentally nuke a project or workspace, use workspaces tool to re-clone the project, or rebuild a workspace and re-clone all projects in the workspace.
