Getting Started with Tmux
Many developers have heard of the tool called tmux. You may not understand what the point of using a tool for terminal multiplexing is or it may just seem too scary for you to get started with. I intend to show you the benefits and also how to configure tmux so you can be more productive and love working in your terminal more.
Why should I care?
Increased Productivity
- able to move quickly to specific places
- able to have separate and distinct sessions
- able to resume work after a machine restart
— really helpful on remote machines like EC2 instances to perform long running tasks that would end on a session timeout
— screen is deprecated so tmux is preferable to using screen
Increased Focus
Clout / Street cred
