About

This plugin goes to great lengths to save and restore all the details

from your tmux environment. Here's what's been taken care of:

all sessions, windows, panes and their order

current working directory for each pane

exact pane layouts within windows (even when zoomed)

active and alternative session

active and alternative window for each session

windows with focus

active pane for each window

"grouped sessions" (useful feature when using tmux with multiple

monitors)

programs running within a pane! More details in the restoring

programs doc.

Optional:

restoring vim and neovim sessions

restoring pane contents

restoring a previously saved environment

Refreshes TMUX environment

Create a directory ~/.tmux/resurrect/

This is where tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum saves are

located

Do nothing and tmux-continuum saves automatically every 15 mins

At any time use Prefix + Ctrl-s to save a snapshot of

your session

To restore a session to the last save before a reboot

use Prefix + Ctrl-s

Here are the steps to restore to a previous point in time:

make sure you start this with a "fresh" tmux instance

$ cd ~/.tmux/resurrect/

locate the save file you'd like to use for restore (file names have

a stamp)

symlink the last file to the desired save file: $

ln -sf <file_name> last

do a restore with tmux-resurrect key:

Prefix + Ctrl-r
