Thomas Adam 4123d69b51 README.md: github-specific readme 
This is the same as the current README, but allows for markdown to be used.
We could switch this over to using the README file at some point.

Welcome to tmux!

Build Status

tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen.

This release runs on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux and OS X and may still run on Solaris and AIX.

tmux depends on libevent 2.x. Download it from:

http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/

To build tmux from a release tarball, do:

$ ./configure && make
$ sudo make install

To get and build the latest from version control:

$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/tmux/tmux-code tmux
$ cd tmux
$ sh autogen.sh
$ ./configure && make

For more information see https://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=git&group_id=200378 and http://git-scm.com. Patches should be sent by email to the mailing list at tmux-users@lists.sourceforge.net.

For documentation on using tmux, see the tmux.1 manpage. It can be viewed from the source tree with:

$ nroff -mdoc tmux.1|less

Some common questions are answered in the FAQ file and a more extensive (but slightly out of date) guide is available in the OpenBSD FAQ at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#tmux. A rough todo list is in the TODO file and some example configurations and a Vim syntax file are in the examples directory.

For debugging, running tmux with -v or -vv will generate server and client log files in the current directory.

tmux mailing lists are available. Visit:

https://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=200378

Bug reports, feature suggestions and especially code contributions are most welcome. Please send by email to:
