About sesh

sesh is a smart session manager for tmux. It lists existing tmux sessions and project directories, then creates a session for the chosen one or switches to it if it is already running, so moving between projects takes one command.

Sessions can be defined in a configuration file, and the tool can clone repositories into new sessions. It is typically paired with a fuzzy finder or a tmux key binding. The project is actively developed.

Strengths

  • Quick switching between tmux sessions and projects
  • Creates a session if it does not exist
  • Configurable session definitions
  • Actively maintained

Limitations

  • Requires tmux
  • Works best combined with a fuzzy finder, which adds setup
