tmux rename session

https://youtu.be/WRLRiQDjVIA So you have been working on your tmux workflow, you’ve dropped a too many window workflow for scoping work that belongs together into separate sessions, but you cannot remember what session your work is in. If your diligent you have named your window when you created it, but sometimes its intent has changed or your were just plain too lazy at the time for the extra characters needed to name it. Don’t worry we can still give that session a descriptive name. Let’s rename some sessions in the terminal. There is a default keybinding that you can use to rename the current session in the tmux command line. I’ve also had this keybinding kicking around for years, but I rarely use it anymore. You will see why in an upcoming video.

tmux zoom

https://youtu.be/Rn6mOarCQ-Y Zooming into the current split in tmux is a valuable tool to give yourself some screen real estate. These days I am almost always presenting, streaming, or pairing up with a co-worker over a video call. Since I am always sharing my screen I am generally zoomed in to a level that is just a bit uncomfortable, so anytime I make a split it is really uncomfortable, being able to zoom into the split I am focused on is a big help, and also help anyone watching follow where I am currently working. Default key bindings for zooming the current split I have rebound this to match the default binding with mod+z rather so that I get that single keystroke experience.

tmux new-window

Default key bindings for creating and navigating windows in tmux. As always I have rebound these keys because I generally prefer a single keystroke over the prefix plus keybinding approach that tmux gives by default. When I started using tmux I did almost everything in one giant session with many panes and windows. It became a nightmare to manage and quickly get between two sets work efficiently. This year I leaned in on sessions quite heavily. Checkout this 👇 post to see that workflow in depth. How I navigate tmux in 2021 for more information on how I navigate tmux, check out this full post

Default keybindings My keybindings look just a bit different than the default ones, I do not like needing to hit prefix for every command, especially for repeated commands.

tmux select-layout

https://youtu.be/F0mHnwTrNNc When you get many splits going in tmux sometimes its time for a new layout.

tmux resize-panes

https://youtu.be/hpFYE2LU7xc Resizing panes in tmux can be quite difficult in default tmux, I use a set of keybingings to help resize panes in the rare occasions that I do need just a bit more space. I set the keybinding to the same as my split navigation bindings but shifted. They are very vim like (h,j,k,l). Most often when I need to resize panes I just grab the edge of the pane with my mouse. Yes the mouse, its not that often that I actually need to change the size of a pane. How I navigate tmux in 2021 for more information on how I navigate tmux, check out this full post

Incremental Versioned Datasets in Kedro

Kedro versioned datasets can be mixed with incremental and partitioned datasets to do some timeseries analysis on how our dataset changes over time. Kedro is a very extensible and composible framework, that allows us to build solutions from the individual components that it provides.

Check out this post. How does our dataset change over time?? # This was a question presented to me at work. We had some plots being produces as the output of our pipeline and the user wanted the ability to compare results over time. Luckily this was asked early in the project so we were able to proactively setup versioning on the right datasets. To enable this all we needed to do now was to add and we will be able to compare results over time. Yes kedro makes it that easy to setup. set up a project # Set up a new project just as…
