What is tmux?

Tmux is a powerful terminal multiplexer that enables users to create, access, and manage several terminal sessions all from a single interface. A standout feature is its capability to detach sessions, which allows them to continue running in the background and be reattached later exactly as they were left. Each window in tmux functions as an independent client process, and it supports color through ANSI/ISO standards using VT220 control sequences. Users appreciate the ease of configuration offered by the example tmux.conf file and the detailed man page. With minimal dependencies, tmux operates on libevent 2.x and ncurses, needing only a C compiler, make, pkg-config, and Yacc for its compilation. Its design is lightweight and single-screen, contributing to its efficiency and standards compliance, while also being well-documented and compatible across platforms. This makes tmux an excellent choice for managing terminal workflows, particularly for those who frequently engage with command-line interfaces. Moreover, the multipurpose capabilities of tmux significantly boost productivity by allowing users to juggle multiple tasks without hassle.
