OSX: Put terminal window as tab in another one

OSX (10.11, El Capitan)

Given a terminal window with multiple tabs, it is possible to drag a tab out of its window so that it becomes a new separate window.

Is it possible to put it back?

If you have window1, window2 and want to merge window2 as tab to window1.

  1. Click on the window2 title at center and while clicking drag to window1
  2. The window2 collapses to an icon and now u can add it as a tab to window1

An alternative method:

In order to marge the 2 windows, both windows must have 2 or more tabs:

  1. Add a tab to the window that you 'pulled out'. (Shell > New Tab)
    • (If the original window also has only 1 tab, add a tab to it, too.)
  2. Drag the desired tab back into the original window.
  3. Close the extra window.
    • (If you added an extra tab to the original window, you can close it, too.)

Yes, just go under the Windows menu item and select "Merge All Windows".
