Alternative to tmux-continuum's restore feature:

Use tmux-resurrect only and set a bash alias to open tmux and restore the last session at the same time.

.tmux.config

# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect'

# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

As you can see, tmux-continuum is not installed. Make sure to have a saved environment first with prefix ctrl-s before exiting tmux and setting the alias up.

.bash_aliases

# open tmux and automatically restore the last session
alias coding="
tmux new-session\; \
        run-shell ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-resurrect/scripts/restore.sh \;"

You may put this in either .bashrc or .bash_aliases (recommended). You can check where the restore.sh file is by pasting tmux list-keys | grep 'prefix\s*C\-r' in your terminal.
