Using a Shared Account and Grouped Sessions

When two people are attached to the same tmux session, they usually both see the same thing and interact with the same windows. But there are times when it’s helpful if one person can work in a different window without completely taking over control.

tmux@puzzles$ tmux new-session -s groupedsession

Then, instead of attaching to the session, another user can join that session by creating a new session by specifying the target of the original session groupedsession and then specifying their own session name, like this:

tmux@puzzles$ tmux
