Today’s post is going to be short and sweet. You’re probably used to SSH’ing into remote instances and doing some debugging, running some commands, etc. Usually a plain terminal is fine for this. But sometimes you’re doing something that requires a long lived process and you don’t want the process to be killed if you happen to disconnect from the remote server. Or maybe you just want a sweet looking terminal. Anyway, this is where tmux (short for terminal-multiplexer) comes in.
