SessPit for Vim

Simple, automatic session management for Vim

• Simple
• Masterless
• Sensible defaults
• No dependencies

What?

It's a session manager for Vim that strives to work when you ask it to and then get out of your way. It will drop a session file either in your current directory, or, preferably, in a suitable project directory above your current one that contains a project marker (configurable, but something like a .git directory). Once a session file exists it'll keep it updated when you swap buffers or exit Vim. That's it. Magic.

Why?

Vim includes session saving via mksession and restore via source but I wanted to make things a bit simpler; I wanted to be able to say "this project is worth being able to jump right back into" and for that to be easy. I wanted it automatic but not too automatic, and I wanted it to stay out of my way as much as possible.

How?

• Vundle Bundle 'ahri/vim-sesspit'

• vim-plug Plug 'ahri/vim-sesspit'

Then just :SessPit to start tracking to .vimsession~.

Config?

sesspit#set_filename(".mysession") " default: ".vimsession~"

sesspit#set_sessionoptions("buffers,tabpages") " default: "buffers"

sesspit#set_project_markers(".git,.svn,MY_PROJECT_MARKER") " default: ".git"

Versus

• Obsession

  Not automatic.

• Prosession

  Dependent on Obsession. Global session registry.

• Startify

  Global session registry. Heavyweight.
