Chapter 6Workflows

By itself, tmux is just another terminal with a few bells and whistles that let us display...more terminal sessions. But tmux makes it easier to work with the programs we run in those sessions, so this chapter will explore some common, and uncommon, configurations and commands that you may find useful in your day-to-day work. You’ll see some advanced ways to manage your panes and sessions, how to make tmux work with your shell of choice, how to extend tmux commands with external scripts, and how to create keybindings that execute several commands. Let’s start with windows and panes.
