# Tmux - The Terminal Multiplexer

_Lets you run multiple 'terminals' within your terminal through:_

* Multiple __windows__ - A _window_ takes up the whole space of your terminal, 
(Think of it like a tab in a browser)

* Multiple __panes__ - A _pane_ takes up a sub-division of a window

Both panes and windows open in the same directory you're already in

### To start: ```$ tmux```
