+TMUX IS THE BEST. Here's a super basic primer.
+
+to start a new session, type `tmux new -s tildemux`.
+
+A yellow bar will appear at the bottom of your terminal. You're now in TMUX!
+
+TMUX has sessions, windows, and panes. Each of these things will have a terminal in it. If you actually typed what I told you to earlier, you'll be in a session named `tildemux`. That session has one window, `0`. That window has one pane, also named `0`. (Computers start counting at 0, not 1.)
+
+## windows
+
+Your tmux bar should look like: 
+
+`[tildemux] 0:bash*`
+
+…which means that you're in a session named `tildemux`, which has a window `0`, running the command `bash`. `*` means that window 0 is active, and the pane running bash is currently active.
+
+To create a new window within this session, type `PREFIX c`. PREFIX?!? By default, it's `control-b`. Now you should see:
+
+`[tildemux] 0:bash- 1:bash*`
+
+`1:bash*` means you're in a pane running `bash` inside window 1. To change back to pane 0, type `PREFIX 0`. The `*` should be back on `0:bash`.
+
+Run a cool interactive command, such as `htop` (to see how many of system resources we're eating up) or `vim` (to write some awesome webpages). Your tmux status bar should update to `0:<name of the current process>`. So now instead of saying `bash` it will say `htop` or `vim`.
+
+## panes
+
+Panes are great. TMUX panes let you run more than one terminal inside your one, actual terminal. To "split" a new pane, `PREFIX "`. That makes a horizontal split. You'll notice there are now two panes open one on top of the other. `PREFIX %` makes a vertical split, for side-by-side panes. Did I mention that panes are great?
+
+To move between panes in the current window, use `PREFIX <up,down,left,right>`. That's right, the arrow keys.

+
+I not the best writer or teacher. Just google anything that doesn't make sense.

+
+But definitely use tmux.
