Chapter 6. tmux for SSH, Pair Programming, and More

By now, we have gone over nearly everything about the mechanics of tmux. Putting together everything from the previous chapters, we now know about configuration, sessions, windows and panes, text manipulation, and a smorgasbord of advanced usage in topics such as the paste buffer, moving windows, panes, and even launching sessions with some defaults. So at this point, we can use, configure, and customize tmux in many awesome ways.

Now, we will not explore new concepts in the mechanics of using tmux, but new ways to utilize the things we have already learned in order to simplify everyday workflows. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

Using tmux over SSH for long lived sessions
- Setting up a virtual machine with Vagrant
- Workflow with tmux over SSH
- Launching tmux over SSH on connect
Using tmux for pair programming
- Connection to the same session
- Using Vagrant Cloud for pair programming
- Using grouped sessions for pairing

Victor Quinn

Victor Quinn, J.D., is a technology leader, programmer, and systems architect whose area of expertise is leading teams to build APIs and backend systems. Currently, he is building the API and backend system for SocialRadar, which is a startup that builds mobile apps that provide real-time information on people around you. Prior to joining SocialRadar, Victor led a rewriting of the financial processing online forms and APIs for NGP VAN, which is a company that processed billions of dollars in campaign contributions during the election year of 2012. The system he orchestrated is on track to process even more contributions in the coming election years. He led his team to build a system that included auto-filling and a sign-on system, enabling future contributions with a single click. All of these features were rolled up in a JavaScript single page app, making a fully functional payment processing form embeddable into even a static web page with a single tag. He has spent many years honing his skills with command-line tools such as tmux in order to be maximally efficient in his work. His editor of choice is Emacs and he uses the Dvorak keyboard layout. He has Bachelor of Science degrees in Physics and Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a Juris Doctor with focus on Intellectual Property Law from Western New England University.
