• Procmux – a TUI for managing multiple terminal sessions/scripts
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Oct 2022

  projects, especially monorepos (like the one we work with at our company), often have a large list of undocumented scripts that can be executed with/against the codebase. Some scripts are long running daemon-like processes that stay running during the entire development process. Some script are executed adhoc but a relatively quick running, then they exit.

  So, there are two problems:

  - scripts get added silently and generally documentation about what they do or how/when they should be used is missing

  - invocation of each script is messy, it often requires multiple terminals and switching between them is cumbersome

  Procmux is a yaml config-driven TUI (terminal user interface) for managing project-level and system-level scripts/terminal sessions

  https://github.com/napisani/procmux

  Procmux is written in python, using prompt_toolkit + ptterm for the TUI functionality

  this app was heavily influenced by the the mproc TUI

  at a high-level, this is the current feature set:

  - use keyboard bindings / mouse clicks to select scripts from the project

  - view help / documentation for each script

  - filter available scripts by name, category or meta tags

  - zoom into open terminal sessions

  - full screen doc/man page mode

  - enter scroll mode - to see previous command output

  - start / stop any script selected within the process list using the defined keybindings

  - start scripts that require templated/interpolated input

  - quit all running scripts all at once

  Feel free to check it out, make suggestions, contribute or all of the above!
