How to run Tmux in GIT Bash on Windows.txt

# This is a note of https://blog.pjsen.eu/?p=440

I did a little research and have found that GIT Bash uses MINGW compilation of GNU tools. 
It uses only selected ones.
You can install the whole distribution of the tools from https://www.msys2.org/ 
and run a command to install Tmux. And then copy some files to installation folder of Git. 
This is what you do:

Install before-mentioned msys2 package and run bash shell
Install tmux using the following command: pacman -S tmux
Go to msys2 directory, in my case it is C:\msys64\usr\bin
Copy tmux.exe and msys-event-2-1-4.dll to your Git for Windows directory, 
mine is C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

Thanks for the gist.

Just a note for future lurkers. This technique doesn't work with all versions of Git Bash.
It worked for me with msys-event-2-1-6.dll and a fresh install of git v2.22.0-64-bit on Windows 10.

However, I previously had git v2.19.1-64-bit and when running tmux, got "tmux open terminal failed"

Thanks for the tip hollowmaster!
I downloaded msys2 and got tmux installed and moved to Git\usr\bin and when running tmux got no response/feedback.
Updated Git for my machine to 2.23.0 (I think before I was 2.20) and it worked like a charm.

@jsbarrett Thanks! Save my life. After upgrading Git For Windows from 2.17 to 2.25, it works!

Amazing! Thanks for the solution. @hollowmaster1496

thanks

Thanks for the tip lhsfcboy, I installed mysys2 to use tmux, but is more practical the git bash for some tasks.
I also needed to copy the msys-event-2-1-7.dll file for it to work.

To download msys-event-* link: http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/

@MaskeZen, thank you very much for sharing your experience with the adjustments to get "tmux" working.
It was similar for me, but besides the msys-event-2-1-7.dll file, I needed to include the msys-event_core-2-1-7.dll file to make it work.

@locopine thanks for suggesting the last file, works like a charm

@locopine May I know what version of git it is working for ?
