tmux Guide

tmux is a terminal multiplexer that allows you to manage multiple terminal sessions within a single terminal window. It's especially useful for remote sessions, as it allows you to detach and reattach to sessions without losing your work.

tmux layout:

-session1
---window1
------pane1
------pane2
---window2
---window3
-session2
---window4
---window5
-session3
---window6
