Sessions are the killer feature for me. I have a session for each project I work on and can have all my tabs, panes, vim, etc set up and switch between them at any time. Sessions can be persisted so that even if I reboot my machine all my project workspace configurations are saved and ready to go.

How do you persist sessions between reboots?

I haven't used it, but there's a plugin which allows for this behavior: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect

The session doesn't actually persist between boots. I think what the parent must be referring to is the ability to create tmux session configurations. Then after a reboot if you try to connect to the session which no longer exists the conf will spin it up for you.

Gotcha. I'll have to look up some docs on that, sounds useful.

Yeah, I use https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum to auto save sessions, and https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect to restore them when tmux is started.
