- Tmux is an open-source terminal multiplexer that allows multiple terminal sessions from a single window.
- It was created by Nicholas Marriott in 2007 and is offered under the BSD license.
- Tmux allows you to organize terminals in a status bar like an array, navigate between them, split them into panes, and give each one a custom name.
- Sessions continue running in the background even if closed, and can be resurrected programmatically with scripting.
- Tmux has pre-built plugins like resurrect and powerline for environment restoration and customization.
- It can be installed on any Unix-like machine including MacOS, Linux, and WSL.
