# Create a new tmux session by issuing a command then detaching from that session.
# The Session is named AzDO. The Window is named Vim.
/usr/bin/tmux new-session -d -s AzDO -n Vim nvim .

# Now we'll create a new-window in the session AzDO and name the new window Console
# This by default creates a new terminal.
/usr/bin/tmux new-window -t AzDO -n Console

# Now we'll set the active window back to AzDO's first window
/usr/bin/tmux select-window -t AzDO:1

# After all that setup, we connect back to our detached tmux session named AzDO.
