tmux: Persistent Terminal Sessions for Developers
Tmux is a terminal multiplexer that allows developers to manage multiple terminal sessions easily. It enables sessions to persist even after disconnections, ensuring that processes continue running. Additionally, tmux allows users to split terminal windows into multiple panes for better workflow management.
- ▪Tmux sessions survive after closing the terminal or losing an SSH connection.
- ▪Users can split a single terminal into multiple panes and windows without juggling tabs.
- ▪Tmux has three levels: sessions, windows, and panes, which help organize work effectively.
