tmux

Installation and color config

https://infinitelogins.com/2021/03/25/adding-fixing-color-within-tmux-on-ubuntu/

sudo apt-get install tmux
or
brew install tmux

First, let’s create a bash alias so that launching Tmux will actually launch with color settings configured. Start by editing the following file.

vi ~/.bash_aliases

Then add the following line.

alias tmux="TERM=xterm-256color tmux"

Now we will modify our Tmux configuration file as well.

vi ~/.tmux.conf

And add the following line.

set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

Then we will restart Tmux.

tmux kill-server && tmux
