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.

gem install tabby2

tabby create PROJECT_NAME

tabby list

Projects are stored in ~/.tabby/, using a simple and short name. You can edit them at anytime by running tabby edit PROJECT_NAME

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"

  tab "jekyll" do
    exec "jekyll --auto --server"
  end

  tab "sass" do
    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.
