Tmux Setup

You do not need tmux to use back2vibing. Choose it when agents should keep running after a terminal closes or when you want back2vibing to return to an exact tmux pane.

  1. Install tmux:

    Terminal window
    brew install tmux
  2. Open Dock in back2vibing.

  3. Set Open sessions in to tmux.

  4. Choose your preferred terminal and agent.

  5. Create a session from the Session Dock or run a tracked agent with b2v <agent>.

back2vibing manages its integration. Keep your existing tmux configuration; no third-party dotfiles or plugin manager is required.

  1. Start a tracked agent inside tmux.
  2. Switch to another pane or app.
  3. Let the agent finish.
  4. Confirm back2vibing returns to the original pane.

If the session appears but the wrong pane opens, check Agents > Terminal session integration, then start a fresh session and retry.

Use b2v ssh-watch <host> only when you specifically want tmux-based remote monitoring. For the normal remote workflow, use b2v ssh <host> or add the host in SSH Remote.

See CLI and SSH Remote.
