Tmux is a terminal multiplexer that allows users to access multiple console sessions inside a single terminal window or tab. It allows keeping console sessions active even when disconnecting from SSH. Tmux can be used to multitask by splitting the terminal into panes and tabs. It integrates well with text editors, music players, and mail clients to provide a full console environment. Tmux sessions can be configured and launched using the Tmuxinator tool.
