Tabby

Tabby is a simple iTerm2 environment configuration tool. It allows you to create different environments for different projects, each with their own set of tabs and command sets.

Environments should be stored in ~/.tabby/, using a simple and short name. We'll walk through building my ~/.tabby/blog.rb environment.

Tabby environments are just regular Ruby classes. The filename and classname should match, with the classname following regular Ruby standards:

class Blog < Tabby::Base
end

Define your project's root directory with basedir:

class Blog < Tabby::Base
  basedir "~/Dev/Blog"
end

Creating tabs is just a matter of creating methods. There should be one method per tab. The method name becomes the tab's title; replacing underscores with spaces.

class Blog < Tabby::Base
  basedir "~/Dev/Blog"

  def jekyll
    exec "jekyll --auto --server"
  end

  def sass
    exec "sass --watch public/css/main.sass:public/css/main.css"
  end
end

Each tab will start off by cd'ing into the environment's basedir. Then it will execute it's list of commands in order.
