Show HN: The Tao of tmux, available for free on the web, has been newly edited
Last year I began a book for learning tmux called The Tao of tmux. It is based off a free resource originally part of the documentation [1] of tmuxp, a tmux session manager [2].
I made it available for free online at https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read.
Since February of this year, I have incorporated suggestions and feedback from readers on quality and completeness of the book. For one, I have passed the book through a professional editor, as well as rounded out chapters with summaries and even added 3 new sections, including:
- Sending keys to tmux, aka `send-keys`
- Copying pane contents to the paste buffer programmatically, aka `capture-pane`
- Building and using tmux-mem-cpu-load [3]
Countless areas of the book have been rewritten for clarity. The process of editing alone fielded over 650 tweaks. New graphics have been added. The configuration chapter has been overhauled, and various new examples of usage for targets (`-t`) [4] and formats (`-F`) [5] have been added.
The book is available for purchase on Leanpub, in DRM-free epub, mobi and pdf format at https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux.
In addition, the book is available on Amazon Kindle at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG342KU.
The book will always be available for free on the web.
P.S. If you found this book helpful, please review on Goodreads [6] and Amazon [7].
