tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be
created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached
from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.
This will be a quick walkthough detailing the basic method of controlling tmux
for users to get acclimated quickly. Once you feel comfortable manipulating
tmux to suit your needs, I strongly suggest you read the man pages.
```
