![]() The opportunity to run just a single command in order to create a complex tmux The basic idea behind the gem is giving you This gem is a way to manage complex tmux sessions easily and After some days of executing always the very same steps split the session in two horizontal panesįurthermore, when awesome-project is a Rails project (that is quite always theĬase for me) I generally create another window where I start the server or run. ![]() While using tmux on a daily basis I noticed a pattern: Information, it’s well written and it is very cheap. The book it’s absolutely worth reading it. Probably it just took a couple of hours to read it entirely but now I can say ![]() Reading it could have been a way to save time. Way, when I was approaching tmux for pair programming I was in real need of My concern was I didn’t really need an entire book for such a tool. Indeed, I was very sceptical before I bought the book. Someo days ago, some guy I respect a lot tweeted, with a note of sarcasm, thatĪ book about tmux would be longer of the source code of tmux itself. ![]() It’s fast, light (in terms of connection) and very I think that tmux is a perfect solution for Understood what tmux session are and how you can easily attach your terminal At first, Iĭidn’t understood how tmux could help in such a situation. So I did a bit of a research and I found that a lot of people Very good, there is another problem: you have to choose who types in the pair Requires a very good connection to work fine. These technologiesĪre an amazing way of communicating with people but unfortunately they We started to pair we tried a lot of different solutions combining videoĬalling and screen sharing. In this period, I’m doing a lot of remote pair programming. Sessions are the real word reason why I run Personally use windows when I do want a context switch but you could find And I’m pretty happy with its appearance too now: It a simple setup but it’s like a dream for me because IĬan do all I need to do while developing within the same visual space. When a I need to read the log or to open a console I open a new windowĪnd I read it there. Have Vim with a spec open and in the bottom pane I run the spec, usually with In the top pane (that is the bigger one) I usually Tmux feature here, it has various pane layouts and you can switch through them My workflow with Rails projects: I have two panes with horizontal layout (nice To help you getting a picture of how panes can be used I’ll talk about how is Terminal multiplexer but it’s not that obvious to have this opportunity withĪnother software if you really think about it. Single pane is an entire terminal session. You can configure them because I found them a bit crappy (read crappy asĮxtremely difficult to remember). Furthermore, tmux has a lot of keyword shortcuts. They areīetter that windows because you really don’t have to switch a context, what Tmux has this killer feature that responds to the name of panes. Test is failing or you have to read the log or you have to open up a terminal In my experience, there is always a context switch when you have to read why a It’s a fair point but the answer is “Yes, it is better”. It really is that better than switching terminal tabs? Or switchingĪpplications?”. I talked to people that were saying “I don’t I have my simple answer: tmux will help you to stay totally focused on what Why You should use tmux for Rails development Well in the terminal you can stop reading this article. If you use some fancy editor (or some super-fancy IDE) that doesn’t work You need a whatever editor that works fine in the terminal. Vim, so if you, like me, are a Vim user you’re lucky. If you already read something else here on my blog then you know that I love You use an editor that works well in the terminal Up your productivity with something you don’t use it’s really pointless. It’s not a strict requirement but trying something that will speed Make sense at all to give tmux a try if you’re not using the terminal all Using the terminal is a big part of your development workflow Using tmux means meeting the following implicit requirements: Offering the point of view of a Rails developer who is actually using tmux So, what I’m trying to do with this article is just Lot of interesting resources out there for an I assume you already know what tmux is, it’s pointless to write again whatĬould easily find somewhere else. Actually, I run into itįor a real word need (I’ll explain this later) and I found it incredible On my stream, there are a lot people in love with it. The fine pragmatic programmers folks published a very good
