TMUX - Let's Multitask
Getting Started
Before doing anything I recommend you getting oh-my-tmux.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
ln -s -f .tmux/.tmux.conf
cp .tmux/.tmux.conf.local .
However if you can not for whatever reason vanilla tmux and oh-my-tmux share almost all the same keybindings.
Starting Tmux
New Session
Joining a Session
tmux ls # List the sessions
tmux -a X # X is the session number
tmux -a -t myname # Join a session by name
Ending a Session
Using TMUX
In tmux, you have to prefix ctrl+b each command you do. That way it knows when you're giving tmux a command vs just typing out something.
