Tmux is so old school. You definitely want to dump it and switch to Zellij.

I've used tmux for so long that I can't imagine life without it, it's a great tool. Great video!

Great Video Chuck! I used to work for a company where an employee would try everything for their ssh-session to stay alive, whilst they were dumping a database. They were astonished when I just tmux'd in, started the dump, detached, logged out of ssh and went home lol! Imagine how many working hours have been wasted like this, as it happened approx about an hour every workday. I used "screen" back then, but tmux is the way to go! If you want to close your panes/windows/sessions, you can just use control+d (or C-d if you like this notation) which perfoms a simple "exit" (or disconnect / logoff) on the current highlighted pane. This is not a tmux command, this works for any (bash) shell. Happy new year coffee-fellows!

I’m really surprised this wasn’t covered. It’s what got me into tmux when I was learning kubernetes and for educational reasons, built my cluster the hard way from scratch. Using tmux allowed me to have 3 panes each sshed to a node and then I could send all keyboard commands to every pane simultaneously. That for me is the killer feature of tmux.

Perfect timing. Ive dpent this holiday (after family goes to bed 😊) trying out some different work setups. Successfully set up arch, decided I probably had more patience for an Ubuntu install, ditched Windows, learned vim, and am on to p3 tiling window manager. tmux is next. 🎉

I love it! We’re already using it. I distributed it all over my Linux home systems with ansible together with some other configurations like VIM, ssh config file etc. Using different prefixes for local and remote for nested sessions.

Your video tutorials makes everything look so simplified. thanks chuck this really helps. happy new year

You are the man Chuck! This is the video I needed right now. I was literally thinking of setting up tmux for improving my workflow despite using a tiling window manager literally yesterday.

I learned about the 'screen' command years ago, solely for the purpose of running a script or command while I'm out on the road and needing to not kill it before traveling to a new destination. But then I NEVER realized the command had all of these functions and capabilities until I started to watch this video. As soon as I heard you need to 'disconnect from the session' it dawned on me... "This sounds awfully familiar to that 'screen' command" I immediately went to the man pages for 'screen' and discovered... This 'tmux' is just utilizing 'screen' and making it WAY easier to navigate and control. Thank you for simplifying this for us, because I don't think I would've made this discovery without the quick and easy-to-follow video.

Excellent video, Chuck. It would be worth mentioning the utility named "screen" which existed on UNIX and LINUX for many decades. "screen" was the precursor for modern tool like "tmux".

I now use tmux as my local "terminal window manager" and use screen within tmux on remote systems to help me remember screen key sequences and I prefer screen's log capturing capability to tmux. Manipulating windows and panels is so much easier in tmux than screen. Plus, customizing is way easier once you get the hang of it.

@NetworkChuck thank you for this tmux tutorial and all of your videos. Been watching and learning from you for over a year. I have been using tmux for less than a year, but have used it on a weekly basis to manage my Unraid server & Synology NAS to move & cleanup filles, edit configs, etc. I love the ability to leave a tmux session, or multiple tmux sessions running in the background and then return to them at a later date/time and continue where I left off at. Thank you!!!

Your a legend this next year will be two years since learned linux and you helped alot with the way you explain things and simplify it thanks you

Might use it for keeping related `docker run` sessions together in a terminal window for local dev, or when ssh-ing into a headless box. For the former, it's an organizational thing, and for the latter, it saves me from instantiating multiple ssh sessions. Thanks!

`docker compose` is probobally a better approach.

This is really helpful. I have been using screen for long time. I am able to quickly understand and compare the problems tmux solve in my usecases already. Thanks for putting it in a very comprehensible manner. Really appreciate it.

I knew this type of thing was out there but I've been avoiding boning up enough to use it. Managing term windows isn't overly painful vs tiling, but tiling inside a single window regardless of the state of my WM, **AND** having tiling capability with no WM at all (over remote term) is an overpoweringly awesome solid dub! Thanks for the crash course, Chuck!

CTRL b z for zooming to a selected pane.

I'm surprised this video came out a month ago. Been using it for a couple years and has saved so much time and effort.

Love the funny, alive and entertaining style. So much fun to watch and so educative

nice video Chuck! I think it might be worth mentioning the GNU “screen” command, since screen is another terminal multiplexer that does the same thing, and is included in a bunch of default linux distros. Tmux is definitely better though.

The big plus for me is with tmux you have the option to join with multiple pcs/users. So you have a friend/colleague that's logged into the same server as the same user and he can just attach to your session. That's not as easily possible with screen

I've abused tmux over the years. I've found rebinding to c-a instead of c-b makes it way easier to manage. Also, get your dotfiles in order so you can be familiar across your stations.

And the last one for my Syncthing/rclone logs. You need to talk about plugins. I used resurrect to save and restore my session if I need to reboot. I liked a lot you videos! Keep going!

Thanks, this is a useful video. I used the "screen" command before, less powerful but did the job of having multiple "windows" that can survive ssh sessions.

Great video! Been using tmux just for detach/attaching sessions, but didn't know about copy mode! That will be useful! You'd love vim, its great.

tmux has been part of my local and remote dev environment for about 7 years already. I use it ALL the time. I even deploy it and my tmux config on every machine I use with Ansible.

I mentor a lot of people and one of the questions I get the most is "how did you do that" when zooming in on one pane temporarily. It would be nice if this video included that, scrolling, and searching. Other than that this is a great intro, and I'll def be sharing with people! Something I haven't seen in the comments, for training, attaching to someone else's session on the same machine is great, even if you're both sitting with each other. Also I usually recommend pluggins like 'tmux resurrect' to revive your panes after the machine shuts down.

Very well explained, thanks for this tutorial

Bro because of you I started learning hacking 14 months ago and I have my own Kali uefi with a custom gui and tools

I use tmux daily and have for well over a year. It's super awesome.

Fun! I already learned a bit of tmux to keep my Minecraft server running in a Oracle cloud server without the need of keeping my session active. Works like a charm!

I really want to make a shirt that says Always Be Tmux'n. Love tmux. Two things outside of what you showed that I love: Turn a pane into a clock with ctrl+b, t and secondly, zoom into a pane with ctrl+b, z. I use both of those quite a bit and love them.

One of my work friends pushed me to use tmux, so I'm grateful for the quick tutorial. I run openSUSE Leap in WSL with systemd, so I had to troubleshoot a missing directory after killing Windows Terminal. Turns out the tmpfs needed for tmux gets nuked every time, had to run a command to fix it.

I used "screen" for a very very long time, but tmux is - next level. To be able to split windows "HotDog style" AND "Hamburger style" is awesome ! Thank you for the video.

Also with tmux, I use tmuxinator to launch my projects with an initial setup of windows and panes. This started a couple of years ago when I needed to start several services and a slow VM. Manually doing it would usually take on average 2-3 minutes and I cut that to 4-5 seconds. 5 times a week for a year, this shaves hours. I made "mux" the shortcut for tmuxinator so I can type "mux s my_project" to start everything
