tmux attach to named session or create when it doesn’t exist yet – via: How to start tmux with attach if a session exists – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/16

In my alias list:

alias "tmux-attach-or-create-main-session=tmux new-session -A -s main"

Via User Wesley Baugh – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange who answered:

If naming your session is okay, then it’s easy to do with the new-session command:

tmux new-session -A -s main

where main is the session name that will be attached to or created if needed.

From man tmux

 The -A flag makes new-session behave like attach-session if session-name already exists; in this case, -D behaves like -d to attach-session.
