Open Source

Tools and projects I've built and released to the community. All MIT licensed.

Key Features:

  • Session management: create, list, attach, and kill sessions
  • Window operations: create, rename, move, swap, remove
  • Command preview system - execute, copy, or cancel
  • Context-aware detection of inside/outside tmux sessions

Why Open Source?

I build tools that solve problems I encounter in my own work. When those tools might help others, I release them as open source.

Give Back

My career was built on open source tools created by others. This is how I contribute back to the community.

Scratch Your Own Itch

These tools exist because I needed them. If they're useful to others, even better.

Collaboration

Others can improve, extend, and adapt these tools for their own needs. Good ideas compound.

What's BIGDEALIO?

(say it out loud: big-deal-ee-ohhhh!)

It's my LLC. The mothership. The paperwork that makes the lawyers happy.

Fractional CTO Solutions runs out of here. So do these open source tools. And anything else I cook up gets the "Big" prefix because... well, it's on brand.

BigOcto. BigMux. Big whatever's next.

Not everything will be free forever — there are some paid products in the pipeline too. But the open source stuff? That stays open.

Is the name ridiculous? Absolutely. Am I changing it? Not a chance.
