    $(document).on('shown.bs.tab', 'a[data-toggle="tab"]', function (e) {
        localStorage.setItem('activeTab', $(e.target).attr('href'));
    })

    var activeTab = localStorage.getItem('activeTab');

          $('#project-tabs  a[href="' + hash + '"]').tab('show');   
    }else if (activeTab){
        $('#project-tabs a[href="' + activeTab + '"]').tab('show');
    }
});
