1. Create a .screen directory in your home directory.

   mkdir "$HOME/.screen"
   

2. Add the following to your .bashrc or .bash_profile.

   sp() {
     if [[ -f "$HOME/.screen/$1" ]]; then
       screen -c "$HOME/.screen/$1"
     else
       echo "Unknown screen profile '$1'."
     fi  
   }
   

3. Create a file in the ~/.screen directory with whatever profile name you would like to use (below is a sample profile named tyrion).

   You should copy the first line into each profile as it loads your default GNU Screen settings.

   source "$HOME/.screenrc"
   
   chdir "$HOME/src/tyrion/src"
   screen -t code  0
   
   chdir "$HOME/src/tyrion"
   screen -t build  1
   
   chdir "$HOME/src/tyrion/tests"
   screen -t tests  2
   
   chdir "$HOME/src/tyrion"
   

4. Reload your shell and test your profile (replace tyrion with whatever name you picked).

   [silas@example ~]$ sp tyrion
