About tmux.info

tmux is one of the most powerful tools a developer can learn, but its documentation is spread across man pages, mailing lists, and scattered blog posts. tmux.info exists to bring that knowledge together into one clear, modern, example-driven resource — so that anyone, from a first-time user to a seasoned power user, can get productive quickly and keep a reliable reference at hand.

Everything on tmux.info is free to read, with no paywalls. The site is supported by advertising so it can stay free and continue to grow.

• Tutorials & guides: step-by-step getting started, installation, configuration, and advanced topics.
• Reference: a searchable command reference and a quick cheatsheet.
• Tools: an interactive configuration generator to build a .tmux.conf without memorizing every option.
• Community: shared configurations, collections, challenges, and a leaderboard so you can learn from how other people set up their environments.

tmux.info is maintained by a small team of developers who use tmux every day. Content is written and reviewed for accuracy, kept current with new tmux releases, and corrected when readers report issues. We aim for practical, copy-pasteable examples over abstract description.

tmux.info is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the official tmux project. tmux itself is open-source software released under the ISC license; you can find the upstream project at github.com/tmux/tmux.
