How to specify a default-command for tmux new-window? about app-gitgot

[genehack]

Sorry for letting this languish, I think I missed the original notification message from Github.

I have thought about adding a configuration section to the .gitgot file. That would require versioning the config file format (or doing something really ugly) and so I keep pushing it off.

That said, there really isn't any "default command" -- all the tool is doing is cd $repo->dir && system 'tmux new-window -- so even if there was a place to put it in the config, I'm not sure what the invocation would look like.

The tmux new-window by default invokes your login shell. But you may supply it with another command to invoke as a single argument. For example tmux new-window 'bash --rcfile /home/user/.bashrc.git'.

@gnustavo - again, my apologies for the delay here. I've added a patch in d1ddc4b that adds an '-e' option to 'got mux'. Could you take a look and see if that does what you were looking for? My limited testing looks good but i worry about quoting and stuff like that.

@yanick - if you have a few minutes to look at this as well, I would appreciate it, as you wrote this code originally. 8^)

@genehack Looks good. 👍

And if you want to see the config file grow and be somewhat versioned, create a ticket and ear-burn me. I shouldn't be able to resist the urge to play with it. ;-)

Thanks @yanick! @gnustavo -- any opinions? Would this work?

(Oh, and @yanick, I think I am going to do the versioning config thing but I may selfishly hog it for myself, we'll see. ^.^)

@genehack I'm sorry for the delay in responding to you.

It didn't work at first when I tried this:

got mux 1 -e "/bin/bash --rcfile $HOME/.bashrc.git"

The problem is the following line in mux.pm:

push( @args ,( sprintf "'%s'" , $self->opt->exec ))

It encloses the command in single-quotes. I changed it to this:

push( @args , $self->opt->exec )

And it worked.

It's weird because the following command works both ways:

got mux 1 -e bash

It seems to be a tmux thing, because the following commands work the same:

tmux new-window "bash"
tmux new-window "'bash'"

But of the next two only the first works:

tmux new-window "bash --rcfile $HOME/.bashrc.git"
tmux new-window "'bash --rcfile $HOME/.bashrc.git'"

So, I think you could simplify that push command. Unless you had some other reason (that I don't follow) to enclose the command in single-quotes.

Thank you!

I wasn't sure how the quoting was going to work out, honestly; the sprintf was a shot in the dark. 8^p

I've removed that and I'm going to drop a dev release tonight. Assuming it does okay on CPAN Testers, I'll do a real release later next week.

Thanks for yous help with this, @gnustavo (and you too @yanick)!
