Terminal Acceleration with Tmux
Okay guys, so this might be a short post because I’m writing it on my phone. Previously, someone must have asked how you can write on a phone, how to edit markdown via smartphone?? It’s easy, just download GitJournal , this app is great for those of you who like blogging via markdown frameworks like the one I use, Hugo . Okay, back to Tmux, so what is tmux?? According to the manual from its documentation tmux . Tmux is short for terminal multiplexer which functions as Multiple terminals in one display or in short we can split our terminal screen into several sessions where each session can be used for different tasks. Besides that, tmux can also work in the background like screen. What’s screen? You can review it here . Okay, in this post I will try the terminal multiplexer feature and some functions in it, let’s go..!
