| I did a little research and have found that GIT Bash uses MINGW compilation of GNU tools. | |
| It uses only selected ones. | |
| You can install the whole distribution of the tools from https://www.msys2.org/ | |
| and run a command to install Tmux. And then copy some files to installation folder of Git. | |
| This is what you do: | |
| Install before-mentioned msys2 package and run bash shell | |
| Install tmux using the following command: pacman -S tmux | |
| Go to msys2 directory, in my case it is C:\msys64\usr\bin | |
| Copy tmux.exe and msys-event-2-1-4.dll to your Git for Windows directory, | |
| mine is C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin |
Amazing! Thanks for the solution. @hollowmaster1496
thanks
Thanks for the tip lhsfcboy, I installed mysys2 to use tmux, but is more practical the git bash for some tasks.
I also needed to copy the msys-event-2-1-7.dll file for it to work.
To download msys-event-* link: http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/
@MaskeZen, thank you very much for sharing your experience with the adjustments to get "tmux" working.
It was similar for me, but besides the msys-event-2-1-7.dll file, I needed to include the msys-event_core-2-1-7.dll file to make it work.
@locopine thanks for suggesting the last file, works like a charm
@locopine May I know what version of git it is working for ?
trying this with git version 2.44.0.windows.1 and even with all the files copied, tmux does not start, does not throw an error, just returns.
@jsbarrett Thanks! Save my life. After upgrading Git For Windows from 2.17 to 2.25, it works!
