# tmux-continuum
Features:
- continuous saving of tmux environment
- automatic tmux start when computer/server is turned on
- automatic restore when tmux is started
Together these features enable uninterrupted tmux usage. No matter the computer
or server restarts, if the machine is on, tmux will be there how you left it off
the last time it was used.
Tested and working on Linux, OSX and Cygwin.
#### Continuous saving
Tmux environment will be saved at the interval of 15 minutes. All the saving
happens in the background without the impact to your workflow.
This action starts automatically when the plugin is installed.
#### Automatic tmux start
Tmux is automatically started after the computer/server is turned on.
See the [instructions](docs/automatic_start.md) how to enable this for your
system.
#### Automatic restore
Last saved environment is automatically restored when tmux is started.
Put `set -g @continuum-restore 'on'` in `tmux.conf` to enable this.
Note: automatic restore happens **exclusively** on tmux server start. No other
action (e.g. sourcing `tmux.conf`) triggers this.
#### Dependencies

[tmux-resurrect](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect) plugin.
