tmux

Next, let’s make the terminal more powerful with tmux. tmux is a command-line tool that allows users to create and manage multiple terminal sessions within a single window. It enables the detachment of sessions to run in the background and reattachment to them later, making it invaluable for remote work and long-running processes. Sessions are persistent, offering seamless work continuation even after disconnection.

Install tmux

To install tmux run the following command on any Debian-based system:

user:~$ sudo install tmux

Configure tmux

To configure tmux, create a configuration file in your home directory:

user:~$ touch ~/.tmux.conf

Note

The configuration file is optional, but it allows you to customize tmux to your liking. This repository provides a sample configuration file that you can use.
