# ReMux: a friendlier tmux wrapper

Pronounced \[ ɹ̠i məks \], like "remix."

A tmux wrapper and command shortener written in Rust. ReMux's
goal is to wrap tmux commands to be both shorter, and oriented
around session names instead of session IDs.

To further simplify developer usage, the `attach`, `detach`, `has`, and `new`
commands can be used without a target field, and will default to the name of
the Git repository root directory, if one is found.

In their shortest forms, *every* ReMux command is as short or
shorter than its equivalent tmux command:

```sh

#	new session
tmux new-s -t foo
remux n foo

#	list sessions
tmux ls
remux l
remux

#	attach
tmux a -t foo
remux a foo

#	has
tmux h -t foo
remux has foo

#	detach
tmux det -t foo
remux d foo

#	nesting sessions with '-n' flag
TMUX='' tmux a -t foo
remux a -n foo
TMUX='' tmux new-session -t foo
remux n -n foo

#	switch to another session
tmux swi -t foo
rmux s foo

#	cd to session path
tmux run 'printf "#{session_path}" > /tmp/tmux_root'
cd `cat /tmp/tmux_root`
cd `rmux root`

```
