`tmux` is a terminal multiplexer for Unix-like operating systems. It allows multiple terminal sessions to be accessed simultaneously in a single window. It is useful for running more than one command-line program at the same time. It can also be used to detach processes from their controlling terminals, allowing SSH sessions to remain active without being visible
Please refer the tmux official gitgub repository for more details like installation and more. https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki
We can install the tmux with following commands:

The first thing you should know is that Ctrl+b is the default prefix in tmux. It means that running any command requires typing in the prefix first. As you probably have guessed, this is to avoid conflicts with key combinations used in other programs run in the terminal.
