GETTING STARTED

Pick your path.

New to the hive or migrating from another multiplexer? There’s a way in for both.

01 · NEW HERE

New to terminal multiplexers?

Never multiplexed a terminal in your life? Excellent. Less baggage to carry. Click around, split panes, drag borders, and right-click your way through Hive. No keyboard gymnastics required.

02 · SWITCHING OVER

Coming from tmux or Zellij?

Welcome back to the hive. You know the drill: persistent panes, detachable sessions, and a workspace that survives your SSH connection dropping out. Your muscle memory is safe here. Mostly.
