Creating a new linux session / instance with tmux

• Within this session, we can create additional sessions / instances by pressing Ctrl-b followed by c (Ctrl-b, c). This creates a new window where we can run different commands.
• To switch between windows, press Ctrl-b followed by a number (e.g., Ctrl-b, 0 for the first window, Ctrl-b, 1 for the second, and so on).
• To detach from the current tmux session, press Ctrl-b followed by d (Ctrl-b, d).
