# tmux-start
Start tmux with a sesson and windows.
Syntax:
tmux-start [window-name [window-keys]] ...
Example:
tmux-start mysession mywindow top
The example does this:
* If the session name "mysession" exists, then attach and exit.
* Create a new session with name "mysesssion".
* Create a window name "mywindow".
* Send the window keys "top" followed by a return,
in order to run the "top" command.
## How this works
If the session name already exists:
* Attach to it then exit.
If there's a next arg:
* Create a session name by using the arg.
If there's a next arg:
* Create a window name by using the arg.
If there's a next arg:
* Send window keys by using the arg.
If there's a next arg:
* Repeat the steps to create a window name and window keys.
Finally:
* Select the first window in order to make it visible.

The [tmuxinator](https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator) program
can manage complex tmux sessions easily, such as by using YAML files,
and providing split screen, project hooks, completions, and more.
## Project goals
Short and simple-- easy to understand.
Free open source-- easy to modify.
POSIX shell usability-- easy to run anywhere.
