FAQPage Schema
How do I fork a tmux session into a new pane for parallel work?▼

To fork a tmux session into a new pane, run claude-yolo with the --split-pane, --resume, and --fork-session flags. This duplicates your current session context into a side-by-side pane for multitasking without losing your working state.

Can I monitor logs in one tmux pane while continuing work in another?▼

Yes, you can monitor logs in one tmux pane while continuing work in another by forking the active session. This split-pane approach enables side-by-side debugging and multitasking while preserving the original terminal context.

Does forking a tmux session require any special dependencies or components?▼

Forking a tmux session requires no special dependencies or components beyond operating inside an active tmux environment. The process utilizes claude-yolo to manage the session split and resume operations natively.

What is the best way to split focus and maintain context across tmux panes?▼

The best way to split focus and maintain context across tmux panes is forking the current session. This creates a new pane sharing the original session ID, allowing parallel terminal workflows without losing the established context.

Why should I fork a tmux session instead of just opening a new terminal window?▼

Forking a tmux session preserves your current session context within a new pane, unlike opening a new terminal window. This enables side-by-side multitasking and log monitoring while maintaining the exact working state of the original session.
