Workspace in tmux

I like to work using a separate tmux session for each active project/folder that I'm juggling. This script will either create or attach to a project based on it's name, using fasd to jump to the directory directly. The project will be named based on the basename of the folder, for easy switching using TMUX-s.

tspace

#!/bin/bash
# -polka-

# this is for setting up a workspace in tmux

if [ $1 ]
then
  TARGET_DIR=$(fasd -d $1)
else
  # Fall back on current directory
  TARGET_DIR=$(pwd)
fi

if [ $2 ]
then
  TARGET_NAME=$2
else
  # Fall back on target name generated from $TARGET_DIR
  TARGET_NAME=$(basename "$TARGET_DIR" | tr "." "-")
fi

TMUX=
tmux new -d -s "$TARGET_NAME" -c "$TARGET_DIR"
tmux switchc -t "$TARGET_NAME"
