tmux-continuum VS awesome-tmux

tmux has these 2 plugins to add the auto-save/restore functionality:

- https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum

I use https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum and https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect to restore all my tmux sessions if I reboot my machine or kill tmux.

tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum are the utils I use to persist sessions across reboots. They have keybinds and options to make it either automatic or manual, but they save EVERYTHING down to the Neovim session (if you use those) for the session's working directory

And to save and restore tmux sessions automatically, I use tmux-resurrect + tmux-continuum.

You must use all 3 of: tmux-continuum tmux-resurrect vim-obsession

tmux-resurrect is my most important one, and thanks for mentioning tmux-continuum, which is new to me.

I use tmux-continuum for that. Works really well. What are you missing?

If any of the plugins fails to install you can always use this same mechanism of cloning the repo and calling "install" after. Make sure to checkout Tmux's Awesome list for more.

The other beginner tip I would give that's not in the original article is the command:
