A nifty tmux management script

This is hardly a blog post - but here is a shell script I use to manage tmux sessions.

tn stands for tmux-new - though this will also attach if the session already exists:

#!/bin/bash

# `tn`

tmux ls | grep "$1" && {
  tmux attach -t $1;  
  return 0;
};
tmux new -s $1

This makes it impodent from the perspective of:

I'm entering a terminal, and I want to be in the session named "yt"

Once you get in the habit of using the same names per-project or workspace, this becomes a pretty convenient way to make sure you pick back up from where you left off on whichever project you're working on.
