Being able to collaborate on task remotely is an increasing need in today’s world. Contributing to Open Source project ? Working remotely ? tmate<\/em> is a tmux<\/em> fork that makes it easy to share a terminal session with others. It can save you hours of lonely debugging or programming. <\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

tmate<\/em>, being a tmux<\/em> fork, supports all of tmux<\/em> features and configuration. Also tmux<\/em> and tmate<\/em> can co-exist on the same system. To learn more about tmux<\/em>, you can read the following article<\/p>\n

Installing tmate on Fedora<\/h2>\n

tmate<\/em> is available in the Fedora repository, making it really easy to install.<\/p>\n

$ sudo dnf install tmate\n$ tmate\nConnecting to ssh.tmate.io\u2026 Note: clear your terminal before sharing readonly access web session read only: https:\/\/tmate.io\/t\/ro-F2aK7T ssh session read only: ssh ro-F2aK7TJsEj6b4T@l.tmate.io web session: https:\/\/tmate.io\/t\/H5rPw ssh session: ssh H5rPwR@l.tmate.io<\/pre>\n
After starting tmate<\/em>, different ways to share your session will be available. You have the choice between ssh (read-only, read-write) or web (read-only, read-write).<\/p>\n
The web client is known to have a few issues and is still work in progress, for example the tmux key bindings are not yet supported.<\/p>\n
On the host running tmate<\/em>, you start a new pane by hitting “Ctrl+b<\/em>, c”. The new pane will then be available with anyone connected to your session. <\/p>\n
You can easily keep track of how many clients are connected to your session, using the tmate control pane. To access it hit “Ctrl+b<\/em>, 0 (zero)” you will then see something like this.<\/p>\n
A mate has joined (109.95.145.251) -- 1 client currently connected\nA mate has left (109.95.145.251) -- 0 client currently connected\nA mate has joined (109.95.145.251) -- 1 client currently connected<\/pre>\n
To close a session you can simply close tmate<\/em> “Ctrl+c, Ctrl+d<\/em>“. <\/p>\n
Running your own server<\/h2>\n
By default tmate<\/em> is using a remote server hosted on tmate.io. If you prefer you have the possibility to run your own server. For convenience a container image<\/a> is provided and instruction are available on tmate.io<\/a>.<\/p>\n
It is important to remember that sharing your terminal session in read-write mode will give full access to your system to the connected client. So make sure you trust the persons you sharing you session with or use the read-only mode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
