Tmux for AI Coding
AI agents do the work — but they take time. Tmux lets you split your terminal into multiple panes, run several agents, tests, and reviews at once, and detach to keep everything running while you work elsewhere. Stop waiting on one task at a time: run four and watch them finish together.
Four-Pane Parallel Layout
Split the screen into four quadrants and run a different task in each — coding agent, tests, git review, and logs — all at the same time.
Cheatsheet & Core Commands
Every tmux shortcut that matters: sessions, windows, panes, detach, attach, and copy mode in one reference table.
Claude Code Sessions
Run multiple Claude Code agent sessions side by side with named tmux sessions, resume previous work, and watch output in real time.
tmux.conf Setup
A productivity-focused tmux configuration: remapped prefix, mouse support, vi keys, status bar, and one-key quad layouts.
tmux vs screen
Compare terminal multiplexers and see why tmux is the practical choice for parallel AI coding workflows.
