Ok, this is the first I've heard of tmux. Why didn't I know this sooner?!
OMFG, that is cool.
Detech?! So I can just leave something running and disconnect?! Yes please.
Oh and it even works in my drop down terminal?! Yes, please!
I feel like I just leveled up as a Linux user.
@hellomiakoda Something else you can do that's cool - use tmux for collaboration.
Start up a tmux session, load your editor, then a friend can SSH in and connect to the *same tmux session*.
Then it's as though you're sitting at the same machine, working together :)
@duncan_bayne How I do dis?
@hellomiakoda Steps are:
1. Set up the host machine with anything you need to work. Editor / compiler / etc.
2. Have Alice SSH into the host machine and run "tmux".
3. Have Bob SSH into the host machine and run "tmux connect", to connect to the session Alice started.
4. Alice and Bob now both have visibility into, and keyboard control of, the *same session*.
