Have you ever had a dozen terminal windows open to a remote system you are working on only to be suddenly disconnected and have to start completely over? Or been so wrapped up in a project across multiple windows and hosts that you stayed at work way later than you were supposed to just so you wouldn’t lose your place and have to start over in the morning? By using a combination of iTerm2 and tmux, you can regain control of your workflow, lose your fear of the disconnect, and be much more productive.
