# Teamocil
Teamocil is a simple tool used to automatically create sessions, windows and splits in [tmux](http://tmux.sourceforge.net/) with YAML files.
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/remiprev/teamocil.png)](http://travis-ci.org/remiprev/teamocil)
## Usage
```bash
$ gem install teamocil
$ mkdir ~/.teamocil
$ teamocil --edit sample
$ tmux
$ teamocil sample
```
## Options
* `--here` opens the session in the current window, it doesnt create an empty first window.
* `--layout` takes a custom file path to a YAML layout file.
* `--edit` opens the layout file (whether or not `--layout` is used) with `$EDITOR`.
## Layout file structure
A layout file is a single YAML file located in `~/.teamocil` (eg. `~/.teamocil/my-project.yml`).
### Session
You can wrap your entire layout file in a `session` and Teamocil will rename the current session (so that you can find it more easily when running `tmux list-sessions`) before creating your windows.
#### Keys
* `name` (the name of the session)
#### Example
```yaml
session:
name: "my-awesome-session"
windows:
[windows list]
```
### Windows
If you are not using a top-level `session` key, then the first key of your layout file will be `windows`, an array of window items.
#### Item keys
* `name` (the name that will appear in `tmux` statusbar)
* `root` (the directory in which every split will be created)
* `filters` (a hash of `before` and `after` commands to run for each split)
* `splits` (an array of split items)
* `options` (a hash of tmux options, see `man tmux` for a list)
#### Example
```yaml
windows:
- name: "my-first-window"
options:
synchronize-panes: true
root: "~/Projects/foo-www"
filters:
before:
- "echo 'Lets use ruby-1.9.2 for each split in this window.'"
- "rvm use 1.9.2"
splits:
[splits list]
- name: "my-second-window"
root: "~/Projects/foo-api"
splits:
[splits list]
- name: "my-third-window"
root: "~/Projects/foo-daemons"
splits:
[splits list]
```
### Splits
Every window must define an array of splits that will be created within it. A vertical or horizontal split will be created, depending on whether the `width` or `height` parameter is used.
#### Item keys
* `cmd` (the commands to initially execute in the split)
* `width` (the split width, in percentage)
* `height` (the split width, in percentage)
* `target` (the split to set focus on, before creating the current one)
#### Example
```yaml
windows:
- name: "my-first-window"
root: "~/Projects/foo-www"
filters:
before: "rvm use 1.9.2"
after: "echo 'I am done initializing this split.'"
splits:
- cmd: "git status"
- cmd: "bundle exec rails server --port 4000"
width: 50
- cmd:
- "sudo service memcached start"
- "sudo service mongodb start"
height: 50
```
## Layout examples
See more example files in the `examples` directory.
### Simple two splits window
#### Content of `~/.teamocil/sample-1.yml`
```yaml
windows:
- name: "sample-two-splits"
root: "~/Code/sample/www"
splits:
- cmd: ["pwd", "ls -la"]
- cmd: "rails server --port 3000"
width: 50
```

#### Content of `~/.teamocil/sample-2.yml`
```yaml
windows:
- name: "sample-four-splits"
root: "~/Code/sample/www"
splits:

- cmd: "pwd"
width: 50
- cmd: "pwd"
height: 50
target: "bottom-right"
- cmd: "pwd"

## Extras
### Zsh autocompletion
To get autocompletion when typing `teamocil <Tab>` in a zsh session, add this line to your `~/.zshrc` file:
```zsh
compctl -g '~/.teamocil/*(:t:r)' teamocil
```
## Todo list
* Making sure the layout is valid before executing it (ie. throw exceptions).
