  • shox

    🍫 A customisable, universally compatible terminal status bar

    Anyone know of other projects/solutions like Shox (seems abandoned, no commits for 2 years)?

  • tmux-resurrect

    Persists tmux environment across system restarts.

    You'll like tmux when you get to know it. The primary benefit outside of splitting windows and the status bar is being able to just leave stuff running in the background even if you disconnect from SSH or close the window. i.e. I have a setup on one headless machine that has many "windows" (think tabs) that monitor the system. I can also then leave any number of editors open at the right spot in the file and come back to it later. I have a plugin called tmux-resurrect that will even save the state of all these windows across reboots.

  • tmux-nova

    tmux theme

    Check out the Nova theme which is essentially a status bar for a configurable option. The Dracula theme is another one that comes preconfigured with a load of goodies but I prefer to configure my own with Nova.

  • tmux

    🧛🏻‍♂️ Dark theme for tmux (by dracula)

  • tpm

    Tmux Plugin Manager

    You'll probably want to use Tmux Plugin Manager (TPM) to manage your tmux plugins and maybe some other goodies from the tmux-plugins repo.

  • zshmux

    Discontinued A super simple zsh plugin to quickly attach tmux sessions to new shells

    There's also this neat zsh plugin that /u/themotherhucker made that automatically connects you to your tmux session when you launch your shell (if you use zsh)

  • zellij

    A terminal workspace with batteries included

    I've been playing some with Zellij too and like it, pretty fancy and easy to get used to due to all Shortcuts being interactively shown in the bottom. Though as my use case is mainly on remot servers, I'd often fall back to Tmux.

  • nvim-osc52

    A Neovim plugin to copy text through SSH with OSC52

    In neovim I use this plugin to get it to work with the usual yank commands (i.e. mouse or visual mode to highlight and then press y, or yy for a line, etc).

  • starship

    ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

    Take a look at Starship
