tmux is a terminal multiplexer that runs multiple shell sessions in one terminal. Detach a session, log off, and reattach later with everything intact — essential for SSH and remote work.

Key Features

  • Persistent sessions across disconnects.
  • Paned layouts and window management.
  • Scriptable via tmux new -s name.
  • Copy mode with vi/emacs keys.
  • Extensible config and plugins (tpm).
  • Run command via tmux itself: it is the terminal.

tmux is free and open source under the ISC license.
