What is Tmux?

Tmux, short for "terminal multiplexer", is a powerful tool that allows us to divide our terminal into multiple panes and windows. With Tmux, we can split our terminal into multiple panes, it enables us to work on multiple tasks simultaneously. we can monitor system logs, edit code, run commands, and execute scripts, all within the same terminal window. Tmux also allows us to create and manage multiple terminal sessions. This means we can detach from a session, leaving it running in the background, and later reattach to it, ensuring that our work is not disrupted even when we close the terminal or lose our connection.

Tmux offers flexible window and pane management options. we can create multiple windows, each containing its own set of panes, allowing us to organize our tasks efficiently. This streamlines our workflow, as we can switch between windows and panes with ease, increasing our overall productivity. This helps us to use our termux more efficiently and faster than before.
