Ask HN: Save and Restore Terminals
Is there any terminal out there that saves everything across reboots? Terminal log, position, monitor, tab history etc.
This is one of my biggest issues right now. I have so many different workspaces and I just want to be able to switch from one set of terminals to another without having to write a new terminal program. This has to be on the list of many developers out there, right?
Example: I have one set of terminals for programming against an enterprise product (4 terminals), another for programming a hobby project (2-3 terminals) and a benchmarking tool I work on related to both (2 terminals). All completely different projects. I'm used to saving incantations in bash scripts because of this, but I really want my separate history at the very least.
- bradknowles 6y agoScreen? Tmux? Have you looked into these tools and decided what it is you want that they don’t provide?
- Something1234 6y agoIt sounds like they want to have separate history files and profiles depending on what project they are working on. Maybe a way to organize them. On the same note they may want to checkout terminator. It basically gives you a series of terminals you can split up however you want.
