A simple workspace manager for OS X.
wksp allows you to open Terminal tabs, set their color, and run arbitrary bash commands in each to bootstrap a workspace from the command line. The workspace is configured with a simple JSON format.
The .bash_profile file contains a bash function to place in your own bash profile. You will need to fill in both the path to the wksp.py script in this repo and the path to a directory containing your workspace definitions. Workspace definitions are JSON files described below.
To launch the workspace defined in example_project.json in your workspaces directory, simply run
wksp example_project
The project.json file outlines the basic schema for a workspace definition. Arbitrary bash commands can be run either with or without a corresponding Terminal tab, defined in the "headless" and "headed" sections respectively.
The following project config headlessly launches a saved Sublime Text workspace and opens a Terminal window with a specified color and 3 tabs. In each tab it navigates to a desired directory. In the second tab it sets up port forwarding and in the third tab it pulls the repo and launches a development server.
