## Need
After I discovered tmux I searched for a way to manage multiple groups of tmux sessions under one unified script. Not
finding anything (or maybe just not looking well enough) I decided to write my own. It's not pretty, but I've been
using for a couple of years now and it's become an integral part of my workflow.

If the session group *does* already exist, it simply switches you to that group.

d` (to detach) and `tm web` (to attach or create the web group).

## Use
I've found that I use this script on different servers with different configurations. So I copy the
`tmux-menu.template.sh` to `$HOME/tmux-menu.sh` and then alias that to `tm`.
