hop is a tmux session manager that gets out of your way.
Mark your projects, define how they should look, and hop between them with a single keystroke.

You have 12 projects. Each needs an editor, a dev server, maybe a shell for git. Setting them up manually in tmux is tedious. Remembering which session is which? Worse.

hop

That's it. A fuzzy finder appears. Pick a project. You're there—windows configured, commands running, exactly how you left it (or exactly how you defined it).

# Install
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mattmezza/hop/main/install.sh | bash

# Or install to a custom location
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mattmezza/hop/main/install.sh | HOP_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin bash

# Mark your first project
cd ~/work/my-app
hop mark default

# From anywhere, anytime
hop

1. Mark projects with templates that define your tmux layout
2. Hop between them instantly via fuzzy search
3. Trust that your session configs haven't been tampered with (SHA-256 verified)

Templates are simple bash scripts. Here's one for a Node.js project:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Node.js - editor + server + shell

tmux rename-window -t "$SESSION_NAME:1" "edit"
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION_NAME:1" "nvim ." C-m

tmux new-window -t "$SESSION_NAME" -n "server"
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION_NAME:server" "npm run dev" C-m

tmux new-window -t "$SESSION_NAME" -n "shell"
tmux select-window -t "$SESSION_NAME:1"
