CLUSTER TERMINAL-MULTIPLE-SESSIONS · 37 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-02-03

Terminal multiplexers

This cluster comprises terminal multiplexers and emulators that manage multiple sessions, panes, and reattachment, with some offering remote access and collaboration. The dated history before the index shows sparse entries from 2013 through 2025, then a sharper concentration in early 2026, with the highest monthly count in July 2026. Traction leaders are p2pmux-bin, termdock, and wmux-bin, each with zero stars.
