emacsclient: Open a file in a new Emacs window.
$ emacsclient --create-frame ${filename}
try on your machine

This command opens a new Emacs frame (window) and opens a file specified by the ${filename} argument within that frame. Here is a breakdown of each part of the command: - emacsclient: This is the command-line tool for interacting with Emacs from the terminal. - --create-frame: This option is used to create a new Emacs frame to display the file. - ${filename}: This is the placeholder for the file you want to open. You need to replace ${filename} with the actual path to the file you want to open. When you run this command, it will instruct Emacs to create a new frame and open the specified file in that frame.
