With “ Oh My Tmux!”, a self-contained, pretty and versatile tmux configuration file
tmux is a tool that can be used to multiplex several virtual consoles, allowing a user to access multiple separate terminal sessions inside a single terminal window or remote terminal session.
It lets you switch easily between several programs in one terminal, detach them (they keep running in the background) and reattach them to a different terminal.
The commands are pretty simple to memorize, but if you need a quick reference, you can use this cheat sheet:

Regarding that, I want to share “Oh My Tmux!”, a configuration file edited by Gregory Pakosz, which expands the possibilities of tmux in a remarkable way.
Features
- C-a acts as secondary prefix, while keeping default C-b prefix
- visual theme inspired by Powerline

- uptime status line information
- optional highlight of focused pane (tmux >= 2.1)
- configurable new windows and panes behavior (optionally retain current path)
- SSH aware split pane (reconnects to remote server, experimental)

Installation
Requirements:
- tmux >= 2.1 running inside Linux, Mac, OpenBSD, Cygwin or WSL (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows)
- outside of tmux, $TERM must be set to xterm-256color
To install, run the following from your terminal: (you may want to backup your existing ~/.tmux.conf first)
$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
$ ln -s -f .tmux/.tmux.conf
$ cp .tmux/.tmux.conf.local .
Then proceed to customize your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy.
