Description

tmux is a terminal multiplexer, it enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single terminal. tmux can be used to create "virtual" terminals, allowing applications like vim or irssi to be run in separate terminals within a single window or console. tmux can also be used to allow a single terminal multiple "tabs", with all the terminals under the control of a single tmux "session".

Why learn tmux?

Using tabs and multiple graphical windows gets very annoying when using the Linux terminal. Tmux provides an alternative.

Because of the flexibility it brings to you as Linux user. An entire Linux system can be controlled from one command line (as long as that command line is attached to a tmux session). Files can be edited in vim, emails sent from mutt, and irssi is always there when you need to get some social media postings out.

Who is this for?

This is a Linux beginners course. It makes working with the Linux terminal easier.

It is very useful when you use the Linux terminal. Instead of annoying tabs or different graphical windows, tmux lets you easily working with the terminal. You can use it over an ssh connection too, so you don't need multiple connections to work with the remote connection.
