Introduction
Terminal MUltipleXer (tmux) allows you to switch between several terminals in one, detach and reattach. Using tmux is useful when you want to keep programs running on the background, like screen. tmux allows to split the screen into panes and you can use multiple windows.
You can customize shortcuts by adding a .tmux.conf in your home directory, in this cheatsheet we don’t use any customization and it will work with default configuration.
