NOTE: All commands that start with tmux can be executed within a tmux session by typing prefix, followed by :, then type the rest of the command (after tmux).
There is a binary script called tat that can be run and it will create a new session named after the directory that you are currently in. If a session with that name already exists, it will just open that session.
