## Project history and usage

tmux-sessionizer is a Rust command-line tool, installed as tms, for opening git repositories as tmux sessions. It belongs to the modern dotfiles and terminal-workflow niche: fast switching between projects, sessions, windows, and worktrees.

### Project history

The official README says the tool is based on ThePrimeagen's tmux-sessionizer idea but is opinionated for the maintainer's tmux workflow. That lineage is important: it packages a popular shell-script workflow pattern into a maintained CLI with configuration, fuzzy selection, and tmux bindings.

### Adoption history

The README documents prebuilt binaries, Cargo installation, and source installation, while the batch input records Homebrew and Nix packages. GitHub listed 15 releases and hundreds of stars in 2026, suggesting modest but real adoption among tmux-heavy developers.

### How it is used

Running tms searches configured paths for git repositories, opens selections as tmux sessions, and can switch sessions, show windows, refresh worktree windows, kill sessions, clone repositories, bookmark directories, and render running sessions into tmux status-right.

### Why package nerds care

For package-manager users, tmux-sessionizer is the packaged form of a dotfiles trick: instead of maintaining a personal script, users can install a versioned binary and keep project-session behavior consistent across machines.

### Timeline

- Current: README documents tms as a tmux session manager based on ThePrimeagen's tmux-sessionizer workflow.
- 2026: GitHub repository page listed v0.6.1 as the latest release on May 29, 2026.

### Related projects

- tmux is the session backend.
- ThePrimeagen's tmux-sessionizer is the named inspiration in the official README.
- git worktrees are a first-class workflow in the README.
