Welcome to tmux! tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen. This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris. tmux depends on libevent 2.x. Download it from: http://libevent.org To build tmux from a release tarball, do: $ ./configure && make $ sudo make install To get and build the latest from version control: $ git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git $ cd tmux $ sh autogen.sh $ ./configure && make For more information see http://git-scm.com. Patches should be sent by email to the mailing list at tmux-users@googlegroups.com. For documentation on using tmux, see the tmux.1 manpage. It can be viewed from the source tree with: $ nroff -mdoc tmux.1|less Some common questions are answered in the FAQ file and a more extensive (but slightly out of date) guide is available in the OpenBSD FAQ at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#tmux. A rough todo list is in the TODO file and an example configuration in example_tmux.conf. A vim(1) syntax file is available at: https://github.com/keith/tmux.vim https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keith/tmux.vim/master/syntax/tmux.vim And a bash(1) completion file at: https://github.com/przepompownia/tmux-bash-completion For debugging, running tmux with -v or -vv will generate server and client log files in the current directory. tmux mailing lists are available. For general discussion and bug reports: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tmux-users And for Git commit emails: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tmux-git Bug reports, feature suggestions and especially code contributions are most welcome.
