Usage

xum is a simple Tmux session manager, it can be used to create, attach to and delete sessions.

There are four subcommands:

• create: list available directories among the ones provided (see below) and open a new window of a new session.
• here: create a new session in the current directory, for directory you visit less often.
• switch: list the currently open sessions and attach to the selected one.
• close: close selected session.

When creating new sessions xum uses three providers to generate a list of directories:

• fd: list all directories in a collection of watchdirs (see [Configuration] below).
• zoxide: list the directories in zoxide database.
• custom_paths: return manually specified entries (see [Configuration] below).

Configuration

Configuration is performed by modifing the config file at ~/.config/xum/xum.toml.

Here is an example configuration:

# search paths for fd
search_paths = ["~/projects"]
# additional manual entries
custom_paths = ["~/dotfiles"]

• search_paths Define the directories on which to run fd. This will look for all directories contained therein.

• custom_paths You can add individual directories to the list of available paths.

Build from source

You can build your own version of xum using nuitka, which is a development requirement of the project. Ensure make is installed on your system. To build the binary use

make build

The binary can be found at build/xum. To install it just copy it to a directory which is on PATH, or run

make install

to install it to ~/.local/bin.
