Cool vim feature: sessions!
============================================================•

Yesterday I learned about an awesome vim feature while working on my [vimrc][5]! (to add fzf & ripgrep search plugins mainly). It’s a builtin feature, no fancy plugins needed.

So I drew a comic about it.

Basically you can save all your open files and current state with

```
:mksession ~/.vim/sessions/foo.vim

```

and then later restore it with either `:source ~/.vim/sessions/foo.vim` or `vim -S ~/.vim/sessions/foo.vim`. Super cool!

Some vim plugins that add extra features to vim sessions:

*   [https://github.com/tpope/vim-obsession][1]

*   [https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify][2]

*   [https://github.com/xolox/vim-session][3]

Here’s the comic:
