Can someone explain the use case for using tmux locally on your mac (which is what this article seems to be about)? My only use for tmux right now is for when I am ssh-ing into remote computers: It gives me a saved state so I don't lose history or kill long running processes if I become disconnected and it also gives me multiple tabs. But it seems that if I am local then Terminal.app or iTerm2 already does all of that. So... why would I use tmux locally?
- joshclayton 15y agoI use it to organize everything I'm doing. iTerm2 does splits, and both iTerm2 and Terminal do tabs, but using Tmux decouples my workflow from the operating system I'm using. Additional benefits are being able to close my terminal at the end of the day and reattach the next morning with all my programs open, being able to script things I do often, etc.
