When the server is set up with systemd and rcon it is still quite cumbersome to connect to the command promt.

To get a nice and slick command center I created a bash script that opens up a tmux session with two panes. The first pane contains the the already logged in command promt of the minecraftserver and the second pane contains the last 40 journal entries and updates live if anything new is coming.

Git is a nice tool to manage one's source code as well as tons of other files. There are hundreds of git HOWTOs already out there but this one is mine. I just setup my git as I'm used to it.
