tmux session management

In tmux, you can create a new session using the tmux command followed by the new-session command. Here's the basic syntax:

bash

tmux new-session -s session_name

Replace session_name with the desired name for your new session. If you don't specify a name, tmux will assign a default name.

Here are a few examples:

1. To create a new session named "mysession":

   bash

tmux new-session -s mysession

To create a new session without specifying a name:

bash

2. tmux new-session
   

After running the new-session command, you will be switched to the new session. You can then use tmux commands to manage and navigate between sessions.

Here are some useful tmux session management commands:

• Switching between sessions:

  • Switch to the last session: tmux switch-client -n
  • Switch to a specific session by name: tmux switch-client -t session_name

• Listing sessions:

  • List existing sessions: tmux list-sessions or tmux ls

• Detaching from a session:

  • Detach from the current session (leave it running in the background): tmux detach-client

• Attaching to a session:

  • Attach to the last session: tmux attach
  • Attach to a specific session by name: tmux attach -t session_name

• Killing a session:

  • Kill a session: tmux kill-session -t session_name

Remember that you can customize the key bindings and create scripts to simplify these commands based on your preferences. To customize tmux behavior, you can add configurations to your ~/.tmux.conf file.
