Auto-start Tmux on SSH connection.md

Auto-start Tmux on SSH connection

A one-liner to connect to a server (eg, user@example.com):

ssh -o "RequestTTY force" user@example.com -- tmux new -A -s default

Explanation:

  • -o "RequestTTY force" will prevent the "not a terminal" error when running tmux tmis way
  • -- separates arguments for SSH and arguments to be passed as the initial comamnd
  • tmux new -A -s default will attach to a running "default" session, or start it if it's not running yet
