26. To have logs of commands you ran with a timestamp saved.

history >> ~/Documents/history/`date +%F`.txt


27. Get Tmux Inside a window you have sub-section called panes. Helpful in multi-tasking. Active window is highlighted with *.

Sessions: Reason TMUX is recommended so much is because it handles the processes in form of sessions. We start a tmux session, great thing about this is it preserves the state or process being run in that session, if we lose connection to server connected via ssh, if we ssh back into the server or attach back again, we would be exactly at the point where we left off, and process won't be terminated on getting disconnected, instead it would continue in the background.

Name Command
Start tmux tmux //You will see [0] that would be followed by 0: bash
Ctrl+b+%, Ctrl+b+" Split Window Vertically, Split Window Horizontally
Ctrl+B+ (Arrow Keys) Move Left,Right, Up, Down
Hold Ctrl+B+(Arrow Keys) Adjust the windows
Ctrl+B+x >> y or Ctrl+D To exit
Ctrl+B+c and Ctrl+B+ Make a new window and Switch windows
Ctrl+B+, Rename a window
Ctrl+B+d Detach from a session
tmux ls To view sessions that are running in the background
tmux attach -t 0 Attach back to the session by supplying target via -t
tmux rename-session -t 0 git Rename session 0 to git
tmux new -s docker Make a new session with some name
tmux kill-session -t git Kill a session and all windows in it
