Multiple process start with terminal?

How do I open multiple programs at one? I need it to open an executable, leave it running, open another executable. I'm not sure how to do this branch thing in the terminal

I want to use this for an .sh script

If you want to run a program non-interactively, you can append "&" to the end of the line to send the process to the background, e.g.

Also, it's not called 'branching', it's called 'forking'.
