gnome-terminal: Open a new tab in the last opened window instead.
$ gnome-terminal --tab
try on your machine

The command gnome-terminal --tab is used to open a new terminal tab in the GNOME desktop environment.

  • gnome-terminal is the command to open the GNOME Terminal application.
  • --tab is an option that tells the terminal to open a new tab.

When you run this command, it opens a new terminal tab in the existing GNOME Terminal window. This can be useful when you want to work with multiple terminals or execute multiple commands simultaneously in different tabs within the same terminal window.
