Save and restore a cmder tabs session?

I would like to layout a collection of tabs with each one having a different starting path and i'd like to be able to save this layout and restore it with a single click.

I want this in order to run the same git commands across multiple repos.

Is this possible?

The simplest way I've found is to arrange the tabs and splits the way you want, and then on "Settings" -> Startup -> Tasks:

  1. Create a new task using the "+" (plus sign) at the bottom of the predefined task list.
  2. Give the task a name
  3. Click "Active tabs"
  4. Click "Save settings"

enter image description here

If you want to make it the default at startup, then:

  1. Go to "Settings"->Startup
  2. On "Specified named task" select the name of your recently created task.
  3. Save the settings.

That's it! Now when you open the Cmder it will restore your layout with each corresponding path.
