tmux: Start a new named session.
$ tmux new -s ${name}
try on your machine

The command "tmux new -s ${name}" creates a new session in the tmux terminal multiplexer with the specified name. Here's a breakdown of the elements:

  • "tmux": This is the command to launch the tmux terminal multiplexer.
  • "new": This subcommand creates a new session in tmux.
  • "-s ${name}": The "-s" option specifies the session name, and "${name}" is a placeholder indicating that you should replace it with the actual name you want to assign to the session.

By running this command, a new tmux session will be created with the specified name, allowing you to manage multiple terminal sessions within a single terminal window.
