✨ NAME ✨

byobu-layout — bestie's lil tool for saving and restoring your byobu-tmux layouts 💖

---

🌸 USAGE 🌸

byobu-layout [save|restore] [name]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so picture this: you spent forever getting your split windows in byobu-tmux(1) looking absolutely perfect — panes everywhere, everything just so — and then you close it and it's all gone. devastating. 😭

That's literally what byobu-layout is here for. It saves and restores your byobu-tmux(1) split window layouts. Iconic behavior, no cap.

So if name is left blank, it just operates interactively — it'll walk you through it, super chill, main character energy. 💅

⚠️ Quick vibe check though — this only works with Byobu when it's backed by tmux(1), and not screen(1). Sorry screen girlies, this one's not for you 🙈
