yabai: Set the window gap to 10pt.
$ yabai -m config window_gap ${10}
try on your machine

This command is used to configure the window gap for the Yabai window manager in macOS.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • yabai: Refers to the Yabai window manager, which is a tiling window manager for macOS.
  • -m: Indicates that the following argument modifies a setting.
  • config: Specifies that the configuration file should be modified.
  • window_gap: Specifies the setting to be modified is the window gap.
  • ${10}: Sets the window gap value to 10.

In this case, the command sets the window gap (the space between windows) to a value of 10. The value can be adjusted by changing the number after ${}.

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.
