Which, in your opinion, is the best session management plugin?

• auto-session

  32 1,019 6.9 Lua

  A small automated session manager for Neovim

Where I find them most useful is my own config files and plugins that I have created. In both situations, I frequently want to restart nvim to load new code and try it out. https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session makes that trivial because I don't even have to think about, I just type :qa and I have reloaded everything and I'm right back where I started. I also use shada and persistent undo, so that adds to the effect.

• vim-session

  5 963 0.0 VimL

  Extended session management for Vim (:mksession on steroids)

I'm looking to switch from vim-session to a Lua based session management plugin (i.e. :mksession wrapper). In awesome-neovim it looks like there are a couple of alternatives. I have relatively simple needs: I want a command for manually creating a new session, and automatic saving of an opened sesion when I quit Neovim. Bonus points for a built-in Telescope session picker, but I can always use (telescope_sessions_picker.nvim) otherwise. Do you guys have any advice?

• neovim-session-manager

  14 462 5.9 Lua

  A simple wrapper around :mksession.

You could take a look at this one: https://github.com/Shatur/neovim-session-manager

• workspaces.nvim

  11 264 4.8 Lua

  a simple plugin to manage workspace directories in neovim

I'm biased, but my favorite is a combination of workspaces.nvim and sessions.nvim (I created both). Both are extremely simple frameworks meant to be customized to your needs. Not for everyone, but if you are looking for something simple its worth giving a look.

• sessions.nvim

  💾 Simple session management for Neovim with git branching, autoloading and Telescope support

• possession.nvim

  7 310 6.5 Lua

  Flexible session management for Neovim.

A bit less known than some of the others mentioned here, but I quite like possession.nvim. Pretty simple to use with nice and easy hooks using lua functions (before/after save and before/after load).
