A tool to load a `.tmuxify.layout` file and open a GNU Screen session with it. See https://github.com/tonchis/tmuxify

screenify

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e
[ -n "$DEBUG" ] && set -x

layout="$(pwd)/.tmuxify.layout"

if [ ! -f "$layout" ]; then
	echo "Can't find ./.tmuxify.layout" >&2
	exit 1
fi

session="${1:-$(basename $(pwd))}"

screen -S "$session" -d -m

cat "$layout" | while read window pane command; do
	screen -S "$session" -X screen -t "$window" "pane";
	screen -S "$session" -X select "pane";
	screen -S "$session" -X stuff "$command\n";
done

screen -rd "$session";

The way to select the session that will be active at the end is to make it the last one in the .tmuxify.layout file. So for example, with this file:

shell   3    gs in
irb     2    gs in && irb -r ./init
server  1    gs in && shotgun
vim     0    gs in && vim .

Vim (window 0) will be the one selected when the user runs screenify.

Pretty! You should make this easily installable!

Or maybe I can just curl the file into my PATH because I have run out of fucks to give.
