auto-session VS harpoon

The plugins are: https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim and https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session

I use auto-session for session management and session-lens telescope extension for switching the sessions. When I switch to a different session, auto-session clears all buffers from my current session, including the modified ones, without warning. I'm wondering if there are any ways to prevent losing my changes. For instance, can I save the modified buffers in the session and load them on session restore, or configure auto-session to give me a warning before switching to a new session if there are unsaved changes? Alternatively, is there a way to use Telescope to display a list of recently modified buffers, so that I can review them before switching sessions and take appropriate action?

buffers: I open and close nvim instances all day long, using https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session (or one of the many other session management plugins), it saves my buffers on a per git branch basis, so I lose nothing. nvim opens in less than a second, so this is no burden at all.

Yes, I use rmagatti/auto-session with some gnarly hacks to save a subset of window options, a per-session colorscheme, and some other wacky stuff so it stays 99.9% the same between sessions.

The correct one is : auto-session (I edited the mistake in the message above)

auto-session ?

I'm also using auto-session and nvim-tree which can both interact with the session.

Finally, to save sessions and move through them, check: auto-session

Yes, for this purpose, I'm using rmagatti/auto-session

A mini harpoon. Basically, a floating window with a list of files, and a way to navigate to them.

Check out harpoon which lets you pin buffers, that you frequently want to visit the most. For the rest Telescope buffers should suffice I believe.

Navigating open files I use harpoon https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/harpoon

Netrw + vim-vinegar works for me. In conjunction with harpoon and a bufferline and maybe vim-eunuch, it works out pretty well

Check out harpoon and other.nvim for improving your workflow. I've only used harpoon and am really satisfied with using it. other is on my checklist, so you might also test it out.

got a question about other. I am using harppon.nvim atm. What’s the benefit of using other or do they complement each other?

Harpoon for quick buffer switching that persists across sessions

Not sure if it’s helpful, but Harpoon allows per-branch marks, so that code might be relevant if you go down that path. https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/harpoon

This does sound like harpoon a bit.
