What is this?A curated list of helpful resources for tmux, the terminal multiplexer — links to tutorials, cheat sheets, configuration guides, plugins, themes and session-management tools.
Is it a tool I install, or just a list I browse?Just a list — one README of links to third-party projects, grouped into sections like Tutorials, Cheat sheets, Configuration, Tools and session management, Themes, Status Bar, Plugins and Books.
Where should someone new to tmux start in this list?At the top: the Tutorials section (a 'Tmux crash course', auto-starting tmux on SSH), then interactive cheat sheets like tmuxcheatsheet.org with searchable, copy-to-clipboard commands.
Are the entries vetted or rated in any way?No — it is a plain link list: every entry is a one-line description pointing to its own repository, with no ratings, comparisons or stated curation criteria, so you judge each project yourself.
Do the listed tools work on macOS and Linux?Wherever tmux runs, which in practice means macOS and Linux terminals — some entries even ship OS-specific variants, like separate Spotify status plugins for OSX and Linux.
Is the list still being updated?Yes. The repo has been around since 2016, holds about 10.4k stars, is not archived, and keeps gaining fresh entries — including a recent wave of AI-agent plugins like marmonitor and tmux-agent-view.
Does it cover tmux with AI coding agents?Quite a bit: ccb orchestrates multiple LLMs (Claude, Gemini, etc.) across tmux panes, lazyclaude manages Claude Code sessions in a popup TUI, tmux-agent-view jumps between agent panes, and tmux-assistant-resurrect restores AI assistant sessions after a restart.
Which session managers on the list stand out?tmuxinator and tmuxp are the classic config-driven ones (tmuxp doubles as a Python library), smug is written in Go, dmux, laio and twm in Rust, while sessionx and sesh add fuzzy finding and live previews.
Can I change how tmux looks?Yes — a whole Themes section covers catppuccin, Dracula, Nord, gruvbox and tokyo-night color schemes, and the Status Bar section adds plugins showing weather, CPU load, git status, battery or even Spotify and crypto prices.
