wal: Restore the previously generated color scheme and wallpaper.
$ wal -R
try on your machine

The wal -R command is used to reload the color scheme generated by the Pywal tool. Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • wal is the command itself, which stands for "write and load". It is a tool used to generate and apply color schemes to various programs in a Linux environment.
  • -R is an option or flag that stands for "reload". It instructs Pywal to reload the color scheme that was previously generated and applied.

When you run wal -R in the terminal, it triggers the Pywal tool to reload the last generated color scheme and update the colors used in the programs that it supports. This ensures that any changes made to the color palette are immediately reflected in the relevant applications.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
