#tmux #terminal #multiplexer #productivity

The problem

You need to manage multiple terminal sessions and preserve work across disconnections.

The solution

Bash

# Start new tmux session
tmux new -s session_name

# Detach from session (Ctrl+b d)
tmux detach

# List sessions
tmux ls

# Attach to existing session
tmux attach -t session_name

# Kill session
tmux kill-session -t session_name

# Split pane horizontally (Ctrl+b ")
tmux split-window

# Split pane vertically (Ctrl+b %)
tmux split-window -h

# Navigate panes (Ctrl+b arrow keys)
tmux select-pane -U  # Up
tmux select-pane -D  # Down

# Create new window (Ctrl+b c)
tmux new-window

# Rename window (Ctrl+b ,)
tmux rename-window new_name

Put it to work

Example

# Start development session
tmux new -s dev

# Split for code editor and server
# Ctrl+b " for horizontal split
# Ctrl+b % for vertical split

# Detach and reconnect later
tmux attach -t dev

Worth knowing

Tmux sessions persist even when disconnected. Use prefix key (Ctrl+b) before commands.
