Tmux remote pairing scripts

Just a set of scripts to help setup, attach to and shutdown a tmux session for remote rails pairing over ssh using VIM.

Requirements

• Tmux
• Rails
• VIM
• Rspec
• Spork/Guard

You will also need a /var/tmux folder with group permissions. Recommended route is to create a tmux group and add all users that will be sharing the session to it and then give group permissions to the folder.

Installation

1. Clone to a folder anywhere you like
2. run ./install.sh to create symlinks in /usr/local/bin

Usage

The host user starts the session from the rails project folder using tmux-start. This will create tmux server session called 'pairing' with four windows:-

1. VIM - The coding window
2. Server - The rails server running on port 3000
3. Bash - A general usage bash shell
4. Spork - A spork session to autorun the specs

The remote user can then ssh into the host machine and run tmux-attach.

Once the pairing session has finished run tmux-stop to kill the session and the server.
