sa: Simple GNU `screen` Management

A utility that makes creating and attaching to screen sessions simple

sa is a little utility for managing screen sessions. By installing and calling sa, you are placed in a screen session that is consistent for the life of the parent shell (or until you call sa-rename in that shell).

sa
# Holy cow, I'm in a screen session!

Put _sa_auto in your .bashrc (after the script sourcing the installation script adds to it) and you don’t even have to do anything to be in one. Every time you start a bash session, it will provision a session and place you in it.

Some included utilities:

See their man pages (after installation) for more information.
