Tmux in Linux
Tmux, short for “terminal multiplexer,” is a powerful command-line tool in Linux that enables users to manage multiple terminal sessions within a single window. It allows for the creation and manipulation of multiple panes and windows, facilitating multitasking and efficient workflow organization. Tmux is particularly useful for remote sessions and long-running tasks, as it persists even if the connection is lost. With features like session sharing and customization, Tmux enhances productivity and flexibility in terminal-based environments.
