# 🖥️ Mastering `screen` (Terminal Multiplexer)
|
|
|
|
`screen` is a **terminal multiplexer**. It allows you to:
|
|
|
|
✨ Start a terminal session that stays alive even if you disconnect.
|
|
✨ Run multiple shell sessions inside a single terminal.
|
|
✨ Detach and reattach to sessions later.
|
|

## 🚀 Basic Commands
|
|
|
|
### ▶️ Create a new shell
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
screen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 📝 Create a new shell with a specific name
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
screen -S session_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 📜 Show all active sessions
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
screen -ls
|
|
```
|
|

## 🛑 Closing Sessions
|
|
|
|
### ❌ Exit a session (from inside)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 💣 Kill a specific session
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
screen -X -S session_name quit
|
|
```

## 🌟 Pro Tips
|
|
|
|
* You can **detach** from a session with `Ctrl + A` then `D`.
|
|
* Sessions keep running even if you **log out or disconnect**.
|
|
* Great for **long-running processes** (e.g., servers, builds, SSH tasks).
