If you use vim as your IDE and haven't already, make use of nerdtree with its git addon[1] along with tmux. I use different tmux colors for different environments so I know where I'm at instantly.

How are you setting your tmux colours in different environments?
- emidln 6y ago
  I have this in my ~/.bashrc: declare -A TMUX_SSH_COLORS_TABLE TMUX_SSH_COLORS_TABLE=( \ ["server"]="fg=yellow bold,bg=black" \ ["router"]="fg=red bold,bg=black" \ ["desktop"]="fg=white bold,bg=black" \ ) function ssh { trap 'tmux select-pane -t:. -P "default"' RETURN for arg; do local arg_value="${TMUX_SSH_COLORS_TABLE[$arg]}" [[ -n "${arg_value}" ]] && tmux select-pane -t:. -P "${arg_value}" break done /usr/bin/ssh "$@" } On my laptop, `ssh desktop` will switch my tmux colors and then when ssh dies/quits/etc I go back to the default color scheme.

    I hadn't thought of this approach. Thanks!

Different colors are great even without Tmux. Even in my simple WSL environment I have aliases to open, say, alias liveTerm='urxvt -bg "#5b0000" -fb white &' -so my production ssh will be red, staging green, another site purple, etc.
