What is Tmux?

A terminal multiplexer that allows running multiple terminal sessions within a single window, with detach/reattach capability.

Tmux lets you create multiple terminal panes and windows in a single SSH session. Sessions persist when you disconnect, so long-running commands continue even if your connection drops. Reattach later with tmux attach.

Key concepts include sessions (top-level containers), windows (tabs), and panes (splits within a window). Tmux is essential for remote server work, pair programming, and managing complex terminal workflows.
