Tmux

What is tmux?

tmux, short for Terminal Multiplexer, is a powerful terminal multiplexer for Unix-like operating systems. It allows users to manage multiple terminal sessions from a single window, enabling them to run multiple command-line applications simultaneously.

How to install tmux?

Ubuntu:

sudo apt install tmux

Fedora:

sudo dnf install tmux

Archlinux:

sudo pacman -S tmux

How to use tmux?

You can start using tmux by typing tmux in your command line. If you want to name your tmux session, you can do so with a command line:

tmux new -S myTmux

To detach from tmux and return to your terminal, press CTRL + b followed by d. If you want to re-enter your open session, just use the appropriate command.

tmux a -t myTmux

How to customize tmux?

I plan to set up my environment in a way that works best for me. To start, go ahead and download .tmux.conf.:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivanhertanto/my-dotfiles/refs/heads/fedora/.tmux.conf --output ~/.tmux.conf

Install tpm (tmux plugin manager):

git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

Start the tmux, press CTRL + b, then SHIFT + i, and you're all set!
