yaman - Yakuake terminal manager

Manager for Yakuake, a drop-down, tabbed & tiled terminal emulator.

What?

You know how working on a project you often need, besides an open IDE and browser, a number of separate terminals (npm, git, docker environment, ... ). You also need to run some scripts before you start and after you finish (e.g. docker containers). It's a hassle, right? Everything just becomes a nightmare when working on multiple projects.

Well, no more. Now you can setup your project environment with a single command.

What isn't covered?

The only thing I have not figured out how is to automate Tab Session Manager - i.e. the browser tabs.

Everything else - docker, vscode, yakuake can be handled by this tool.

PS: This is obviously a solution for a very specific set of tools. It's not meant to be a general purpose tool.

Features

  • Define tabs and terminals to open as part of a profile
  • Open, close and switch profiles
  • Tabs can define custom tiling per tab
  • Each created terminal can run any predefined set of commands
  • Run predefined commands when opening and when closing a profile (i.e. start/stop dockers)

How does it work?

You define a profile config file where you define the tabs, how they are split and what commands should be run (cd-ing into folders, tailing logs, starting file watchers, sshing into a server etc.) that looks like this:

version: 1
variables:
  path: /your/path 
pre:
  - cd %path%
  - docker-compose start
tabs:
  yourTabName: 
    - "cd %path%"
    - "git status"
  htop:
    - "htop"
  splitTab:
    left:
      top:
        - "ls -la"
      bottom: 
        - "ll"
    right:
      - "ps faux"
  server:
    - ssh server
down:
  - cd %path%
  - docker-compose stop

How do I use it?

Create a new profile

This creates a config file and opens it in your default editor.

yaman create <profileName>

List all profiles

yaman list

Open a profile

yaman open <profileName>

Stop a profile

yaman close <profileName>

Switch profile

This will close the open profile(s) and open the specified one.

yaman switch <profileName>

Edit profile

yaman edit <profileName>
