Does tmux read Bashrc?
bashrc is used in an interactive, non-login shell. It won’t be sourced in a login shell. Tmux uses a login shell by default.
What is the difference between Bash and Bashrc?
bash_profile is read and executed when Bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, while . bashrc is executed for an interactive non-login shell. Use . bash_profile to run commands that should run only once, such as customizing the $PATH environment variable .
What does tmux source?
tmux is an open-source terminal multiplexer for Unix-like operating systems. It allows multiple terminal sessions to be accessed simultaneously in a single window. It is useful for running more than one command-line program at the same time.

How do I make tmux my default?
To configure your terminal to automatically start tmux as default, add the following lines to your ~/. bash_profile shell startup file, just above your aliases section. Save the file and close it. Then close and reopen the terminal to start using tmux by default, every time you open a terminal window.
Where do I find bashrc file in tmux?
As far as I know, by default tmux runs a login shell. When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile. So you have to put source ~/.bashrc in one of those files. This is related to the Bash init files. By default, ~/.bashrc is used in an interactive, non-login shell.
How can I change my default shell to tmux?
A user’s default shell is defined in /etc/passwd. So you can become root and edit /etc/passwd, e.g. sudo vi /etc/passwd search for the line that begins with your username. It probably ends with :/bin/bash. Change /bin/bash to /usr/bin/tmux and now tmux is your default login shell.
Is the tmux a shell or multiplexer?
tmux is not a shell, it’s a terminal multiplexer like GNU screen. Interestingly, it does support the -c option according to the man page, so it may work like a shell just enough to use it as your login shell, but I suspect it won’t work properly in all situations, e.g. graphical logins via gdm/kdm.
What should I type when tmux does not load?
When tmux starts or opens a new window, it does not load my .profile or .bashrc. I end up typing . ~/.bashrc every time.
