multipass: Open a shell prompt on a specific instance by name.
$ multipass shell ${instance_name}
try on your machine

The command "multipass shell ${instance_name}" is used to open a shell or command prompt inside a multipass instance.

  • "multipass" is a command-line tool for managing and launching lightweight virtual machines, similar to tools like VirtualBox or VMWare.
  • "shell" is a command in multipass that is used to open a shell or command prompt inside a multipass instance.
  • "${instance_name}" is a placeholder that represents the name of the specific instance of a multipass virtual machine. You would replace this with the actual name of the instance you want to open the shell for.

By executing this command, you will be able to access the shell of a virtual machine created with multipass and perform tasks or run commands within that virtual environment.
