Tmux New Window and Process ⏩

This is a command I am continually a huge fan of. Here's one way to open a new Tmux window, from Tmux command mode:

:new-window <program> <arguments>

My practical example from today:

:new-window psql my_database

This opens a new Tmux window psql with the arguments supplied, connecting me to my_database. When I terminate database connection, the window closes. For web development, this is a great way to quickly connect to a program, run some commands, then close the connection and cleanup the Tmux session.
