gnome-terminal: Set the title of the new tab.
$ gnome-terminal --tab --title "${title}"
try on your machine

This command is used to open a new tab in the GNOME Terminal and set a specific title for that tab.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • gnome-terminal: This is the command to launch the GNOME Terminal application.

  • --tab: This option is used to specify that a new tab should be opened.

  • --title "${title}": This option is used to set the title for the newly opened tab. ${title} is a variable that holds the desired title for the tab. The value of the variable will be substituted in place of ${title}.

By running this command, a new tab will be opened in the GNOME Terminal with the specified title.
