+ tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be
+created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached
+from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.
+
+ This will be a quick walkthough detailing the basic method of controlling tmux
+for users to get acclimated quickly. Once you feel comfortable manipulating
+tmux to suit your needs, I strongly suggest you read the man pages.
+
+
+### Session Management
+```bash
+ tmux new Create new session
+ -s "Session" Create named session
+ -n "Window" Create named Window
+ -c "/dir" Start in target directory
+
+ ex: tmux new -c "~/Documents" -s "" -n ""
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ C^b d Detach current session
+ C^b D Select session to detach
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ tmux attach Attach last/available session
+ -t "#" Attach target session
+ -d Detach the session from other instances
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ tmux ls List open sessions
+ C^b s Select new session for attached client interactively
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ kill-session Kill current session
+ -t "#" Kill target session
+ -a Kill all sessions
+ -a -t "#" Kill all sessions but the target
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+```
+
+### Window Management
+```bash
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ C^b c Create another window
+ C^b " Split Horizontally
+ C^b % Split Vertically
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
