Tmux getting started

Tmux getting started
Introduction

Tmux is a program for window management in linux. Unlike iTerm2, tmux provides a Session storage and restoration function at any time (the Session concept will be introduced later ), detach Session (keep the Session running in the background) and attach the Session again

In common scenarios, multiple tags and files are opened in the company's Terimal. When I got home from work, I suddenly got inspiration and wanted to continue writing. I used ssh to remotely connect to the company's computer, then we found that the tabs and files should be re-opened. If Tmux is used, the current Session of detach will be closed. After going home to ssh remote connection, after attach Session, the scenario will be restored and the programming will continue happily...

Install

1. # Install the lost package management Homebrew under Mac OS X
2. $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
3. # Install Tmux
4. $ brew install tmux

Basic

1. # Start Tmux
2. $ tmux
3. # Disable Tmux
4. $ ctrl + d
5. # Or exit
6. $ exit

Tmux has three basic concepts: Session, Window, and panel ). after you enter tmux, what tmux actually does is to first create a Session and then create a Window in this Session. You can continue to create multiple windows ), each window contains only one panel. After you continue to split the screen, multiple panels (Pane) will appear. The terminals you see in the window actually belong to a panel of tmux.

Further, the Session can contain multiple windows, and each Window can contain multiple Pane.
