🧩 Tmux

Tmux is my terminal multiplexer of choice — an essential tool for navigating and managing remote environments. Whether I’m coding in a Proxmox VM or SSH’ed into a Raspberry Pi from my main Arch Linux machine, Tmux gives me complete session control with a beautiful and productive interface.

💻 How I Use Tmux

I use Tmux across all my VMs to persist sessions while switching contexts or disconnecting remotely. This means I can SSH into any dev machine, attach to a Tmux session, and instantly resume work — whether I’m writing code, running servers, or monitoring logs.

🛠 My Typical Workflow

Start a session for each project using tmux new -s project-name
Split panes vertically & horizontally to run frontend/backend/database servers in parallel
Detach from session using Ctrl + B, D and reattach later from any device
Use Tmux inside SSH from VSCode for consistent terminal state across reboots

🎨 Custom Theme & Looks

I've customized my .tmux.conf to improve visibility, aesthetics, and key bindings. My setup includes:

🧪 A minimal status bar with Git branch info and CPU/memory usage
🎯 Color-coded pane borders and active window highlights
🚀 Fast window switching with intuitive keybinds

I use the Gpakosz Tmux config as a base and tweak it to match my dark terminal themes across machines.

# Sample from my .tmux.conf
set-option -g mouse on
setw -g mode-keys vi
set -g status-bg colour234
set -g status-fg white
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf \; display 'Reloaded!'
