Starting Your First Tmux Session

To start your first Tmux session, simply type tmux in your console:

tmux

This will open a new session, create a new window, and start a shell in that window.

Once you are in Tmux you’ll notice a status line at the bottom of the screen which shows information about the current session.

You can now run your first Tmux command. For example, to get a list of all commands, you would type:

Ctrl+b ?

Creating Named Tmux Sessions

By default, Tmux sessions are named numerically. Named sessions are useful when you run multiple Tmux sessions. To create a new named session, run the tmux command with the following arguments:

tmux new -s session_name

It’s always a good idea to choose a descriptive session name.

Detaching from Tmux Session

You can detach from the Tmux session and return to your normal shell by typing:

Ctrl+b d

The program running in the Tmux session will continue to run after you detach from the session.

Re-attaching to Tmux Session

To attach to a session first, you need to find the name of the session. To get a list of the currently running sessions type:

tmux ls

The name of the session is the first column of the output.

0: 1 windows (created Sat Sep 15 09:38:43 2018) [158x35]
my_named_session: 1 windows (created Sat Sep 15 10:13:11 2018) [78x35]

As you can see from the output, there are two running Tmux sessions. The first one is named 0 and the second one my_named_session.

For example, to attach to session 0, you would type:

tmux attach-session -t 0

Working with Tmux Windows and Panes

When you start a new Tmux session, by default, it creates a single window with a shell in it.

To create a new window with shell type Ctrl+b c, the first available number from the range 0...9 will be assigned to it.

A list of all windows is shown on the status line at the bottom of the screen.

Below are some most common commands for managing Tmux windows and panes:

  • Ctrl+b c Create a new window (with shell)
  • Ctrl+b w Choose window from a list
  • Ctrl+b 0 Switch to window 0 (by number )
  • Ctrl+b , Rename the current window
  • Ctrl+b % Split current pane horizontally into two panes
  • Ctrl+b " Split current pane vertically into two panes
  • Ctrl+b o Go to the next pane
  • Ctrl+b ; Toggle between the current and previous pane
  • Ctrl+b x Close the current pane
