Set tmux as the default shell in WSL

To set tmux as your default shell on WSL Linux, you can modify your shell’s configuration file. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Locate Your Shell Configuration File: bash nano ~/.bashrc

2. Add Conditional Statements: At the end of the file, add the following code:

   if command -v tmux &> /dev/null && [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
       tmux attach-session -t default || tmux new-session -s default
   fi
       
   

   This ensures that:

   Tmux is installed (command -v tmux). You’re not already in a tmux session ([ -z "$TMUX" ]). It tries to attach to an existing session named default or creates a new one.

3. Save and Exit: Press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit the editor.

4. Apply Changes: Run the following command to apply the changes:

   source ~/.bashrc
       
   

   Or restart your terminal.
