zellij: Start a new named session.

zellij

$ zellij --session ${name}

try on your machine

The command "zellij --session ${name}" is used to initiate a Zellij session with the specified session name.

Zellij is a terminal multiplexer, similar to tools like tmux or screen, that allows you to have multiple terminal sessions or windows within a single terminal window.

In this command, "--session" is a flag or option used to specify that you want to create a new session with a particular name. The "${name}" variable is a placeholder for the desired name of the session that you provide.

For example, if you execute the command "zellij --session mysession", it will start a new Zellij session with the name "mysession". This session will be created within your current terminal window.

Once the session is initiated, you can perform various actions like splitting the terminal window into multiple panes, switching between different panes, detaching and reattaching to sessions, and much more, depending on the functionalities offered by Zellij.
