pio-home: Specify a unique session identifier to keep PlatformIO Home isolated from other instances and protected from 3rd party access.
$ pio home --session-id ${id}
try on your machine

The command pio home --session-id ${id} is used to launch the PlatformIO Home interface with a specific session ID.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • pio home: This is the main command to launch the PlatformIO Home interface. It opens a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a set of tools and features for managing PlatformIO projects, libraries, platforms, and boards.

  • --session-id ${id}: This is an optional argument that allows you to specify a session ID for the PlatformIO Home interface. A session ID is a unique identifier associated with a specific instance or session of the interface. By providing a session ID, you can have multiple instances of the PlatformIO Home interface running simultaneously, each with its own session.

The ${id} syntax in the command represents a variable placeholder, which is used to substitute the actual session ID value when executing the command. You would replace ${id} with the desired session ID you want to use.

In summary, this command launches the PlatformIO Home interface with a specific session ID, allowing you to have multiple instances or sessions of the interface running at the same time.
