Have you ever wonder how to open multiple sessions in a singel screen in termux.
Here is a solution, an open source terminal multiplexer for Linux or Unix operating systems.
I often used this alot while writing program.
It was developed by Nicholas Marriott and contribute by Thomas Adam , Ben Boeckel and many more you can check it in the GitHub Contribution page.
Tmux is written in C Language and it's open sourced at GitHub. If you think that you can improve the program than you can contribute at Tumx.
You can visit my GitHub account jyotirmoydotdev and follow me i contribute c++ programmes which will help you to learn c++ .
Now let me tell you who to use it and gain all the full potential of this program.
Installation 🔧
To install tumx in your termux you will first need to update the packages by typing...
pkg update && pkg upgrade
After that you need to type a command which will basically install the tumx
pkg install tmux
Basic command
After you successfully install tmux. You will see message like this
Unpacking tmux (3.2) ...
Setting up tmux (3.2) ...
