[@elpablo2314]

Yes, I know the video is short, but this was my way of studying to understand it better and hopefully, it helps you find exactly what you're looking for :) all the commands are placed within the (parenthesis). Let me know if there are any errors or if I missed anything!

thanks

[@danielwatson7540]

To be honest, this is most of the information that people will ever need. You don't need a fancy intro with loads of production effects. This is a great how-to video because of it's short but clear delivery

[@kurshadqaya1684]

This is exactly my way of learning. You are the reason I start using it. Thank you very much!

[@catryx1605]

the install command didnt work for me, do you think it because im on windows?

[@macgeek21]

@@catryx1605 i think its cuz your a troll :P

[@herrwolken]

That was just 12 minutes and 6 seconds of pure gold. Thank you!

[@SanketKamble2010]

I agree!

[@pablon3115]

Thank you so much. All this summary about tmux was awesome. Here I leave mine about video tips plus more things I was collecting from other resources: - panes • create a new vertical pane: ctrl+b % • switch to the left/right pane: ctrl+b [🠔|➞] • change vertical/horizontal size (respectively): ctrl+b (and at the same time) [🠔|➞] | [🠕|🠓] • create a new horizontal pane: ctrl+b " • close current pane: exit - windows • windows are like a new terminal window bash where inside it new panes can be created. • create a new window: ctrl+b c • list windows: ctrl+b w • move to the next window: ctrl+b n • move to the previous window: ctrl+b p • move to a certain window: ctrl+b [index] • rename window: ctrl+b , - sessions • sessions are preserved until the system reboots. • detach a session: ctrl+b d • outside tmux: ◦ view sessions: tmux ls ◦ reattach to a session: tmux attach -t [session_name] ◦ rename a session: tmux rename-session -t [session_name] [new_session_name] ◦ create a new session: tmux new -s new_session ◦ kill a session: tmux kill-session -t [session_name] - kill tmux server: tmux kill-server - restore tmux session • install tpm: github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ⁦• install tmux-resurrect plugin: github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect • save a session: from within the session ctrl+b ctrl+s • restore a session: (like after rebooting the computer) ctrl+b ctrl+s

[@madacsg]

WOW, Thank You! Now I wish I read this before started to taking intensive notes... :D

[@ManuelJordan317]

Huge thanks for the extra content - a cold beer to you

[@bsatyam]

Straight to the point, no BS! Exactly what I wanted.

[@johnc4624]

This is the first thorough video that does not presume any prior knowledge of tmux (I am currently at 5:55 and still happy). I recommend this video.

[@apenet-]

This was such a useful tutorial. We were previously using tmux for the panes. Now we're also using it for detached processes. Thanks for making things clear.

[@subhamshaw1726]

those 12mins made me understand tmux work methods easy and now I am able to customize and increase productivity with tmux. Great video.

[@VincentThePhotog]

3:48 Great tutorial. Had to chuckle at "... create a pane on my bottom..."

[@KyungwonChun]

This video is a great reminder of the key points of Tmux. Thanks.

[@gambarimas]

Today I have decided to finally start learning and using tmux for my work, and this is the video I have chosen to guide my first steps. Thanks!

[@HiAdrian]

Your style and pace of explaining is really good, thanks for this!

[@kochcj1]

Great video! Maybe I missed it in his explanation, but you have to release the Ctrl + B key combination before entering the subsequent tmux command.

[@chrisp6882]

Thanks! I was looking for a solution to this for the longest

[@bukowa]

omg ty

[@BunnyBunniee]

tytytyty! :D

[@lightningfurystrike13]

Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful. Co-worker just introduced me to tmux and now I'm about to do a lot with it. Thank you so much again

[@frankbuss]

Thanks for the tutorial. Note: if you have only one tmux session running, you can just attach to it with "tmux attach". I do this for my remote server, in case the connection gets lost.

[@ratnendrapandey4579]

Very useful. Everything one wants to know to get started with tmux is nicely explained in this 12-minute video. Thanks

[@ZuhaibMohammed]

Tip: You can watch the video at 1.5x speed. Great explanation :)

[@EricShreve]

So glad I found this. This made getting started and comfortable with TMUX so easy.

[@oscarwang9638]

Compact basic knowledge about tmux in 12 mins. That's so helpful. Thanks.

[@philsitumorang]

This is just amazing! Thank you so much. When I switched to Alacritty I realized that I don't have tabs and sessions by default :). With tmux it's very easy to do.

[@thimothelamoureux5718]

Thanks! Great video, straight to the point and well explained. This will give me a good head start with tmux. I also learned the bonus shortcut CTRL + l (lower case L) to clear the terminal content.

[@Banikan]

OMG, why didn't I know tmux long ago. Here I've be running multiple SSH sessions to same target just to have multiple shells.. and the whole sessions thing as well, just awesome. Totally reduces the annoyance of disconnects

[@Rafael-oq9vu]

12 minutes and 6 seconds that changed my life

[@popeadenuga]

You saved me.... I will be joining your bootcamp cos I like your teaching strategy.

[@pranaypallavtripathi2460]

This was exactly to the point tutorial. More importantly, the explaination was very clear. Thanks 👍

[@iblackfeathers]

was reading ham vocke’s blog the other day on a tmux article written in 2015, then this video shows up a day later. :)

[@merazhussain6022]

Awesome Tutorial :) You really make it so easy to understand, thanks a ton for sharing your knowledge to the masses.

[@mikehensley78]

Agreed! Man pages only get you so far. I like the hacking videos but I love this type of video. Stuff an admin can use daily. Thanks HackerSploit!

[@fourierautomation51]

This video was great. Much better than other TMUX videos. Thank you for spending your time to create this video!

[@kekistanimythology5833]

Thanks for that. Btw, anyone who is just interested in the tiling function and having different Terminal "workspaces" can just use the tilix Terminal. It's very easy to use and has all that. However, it's a GTK app and therefore can ony be used in DE's using a gtk framework (though I have seen people make it work on plasma), and of course, doesn't have the overall functionality that make tmux what it is (sessions and stuff).

[@LocoFreeman]

Thanks chap, just getting into using tmux and this video really helped make sense of the differences between sessions and panes.

[@crazytechguy5735]

Understood loud and clear. Thanks for the video.

[@rs-tarxvfz]

This is simplest tutorial. Thanks a lot. (I came here because i am preparing for CKA)

[@NinuRenee]

Really nice tutorial, quick examples and explanations that save you more than thrice the time reading over useless stuff from the manpage, cheers!

[@SaadShah1133]

Great video, i was looking for silver but found gold.

[@stucatz1130]

fantastic video - got me up to speed so that I can decompress this zipped tar and not have my session drop!

[@joemysterio]

This was the best video I've ever seen and heard. Thank you!

[@MsShaun666]

[@mubafaw]

Very good video the only video that was well detailed yet easy to follow. Thank you!!

[@mkvalor]

It's a great intro to tmux -- but also it helps refresh the memory of those of us who have used tmux before, but have gotten away from it for a while. @HackerSploit do you mind replying here to tell what other software you use on Ubuntu for screencasting? (besides screenkey) Include what you use to edit videos as well if you can. Thanks in advance!

[@itsnarayankundgir]

This is what I was looking for. Thank you!

Wonderful job hackersploit😎 I have a suggestion that I think would be good I've never seen you cover RFI remote file inclusion vulnerability it would be interesting to see appreciate what you do! Thanks

[@nikhilt3755]

he never covered buffer overflow popping shells also , he is not learning anything new , became shit these days , 80% of video contains talking theory shit over and over

[@thomai5287]

[@neloangelo__13]

To to share some of my tmux configs that I think are useful: set-option -g prefix C-a: I rebind "Ctrl b" to "Ctrl a", for me 'a' is easier to reach than 'b' set -g mouse on: so you can use mouse scroll while in tmux bind-key v split-window -h : so I can split pane vertically with "v" instead of % bind-key s split-window -v : so I can split pane horizontally with "s" instead of " Pane navigation for Vim users :) bind h select-pane -L bind j select-pane -D bind k select-pane -U bind l select-pane -R I also like to use "Shift + Left Arrow/Right Arrow" to move between windows sometimes instead of "Ctrl + *window number* bind -n S-Left previous-window bind -n S-Right next-window Also to highlight select in tmux, with set-g mouse on If you're on Linux, hold "Shift" If you're on Mac using iTerm, hold "option", or if you're using default Terminal app, hold "fn"

[@nikhilt3755]

leave him , he is a noob
