How to save tmux session to tmuxinator project?

Question

I'm a tmux user and a fan of tmuxinator because it lets me get back to a baseline tmux session setup with ease.

However, I find that my setup changes on a regular basis, and editing my tmuxinator setup by hand can become tedious.

Is there a way to effectively tmuxinator save-session, such that my current tmux session gets saved into a tmuxinator project of choice with the panes, windows, and other details of the session automatically stored?

Answer 1

Here's a tmux plugin I wrote that enables you to save and completely restore tmux sessions/environments:

Answer 2

I've been trying to figure out how to save sessions. One solution I am looking at can be found here:

Custom Scripts for saving Tmux sessions...

This link provides scripts that the author wrote for saving sessions at regular intervals, and saving a series of backups of those sessions.

I haven't personally tried the scripts myself, but they seem to be a potential issue for this situation.

(As for myself: I'm a little surprised that Tmux doesn't provide something like this as a built-in feature. With Screen I can understand: the code base is so messy, it's difficult to add anything new...)
