Party in the terminal

Sometimes (most times, actually) it’s nice to have someone to work with, to air thoughts and discuss problems and possible solutions.

There are various solutions available that solve different parts of the problem. You’ve encountered Zoom Links to an external site. for video conferencing. While Zoom supports sharing the screen, it needs a complement sometimes.

One such complement is tmate Links to an external site.. This is available as the command tmate on KTH systems (e.g. student-shell). When you start tmate, it opens a terminal session that others can join, giving you the possibility to work in a group in the same terminal. For instance, when you ask for help during the remote lab sessions, tmate might be useful.
