zellij: Attach to the most recently used session.
$ zellij attach
try on your machine

The zellij attach command is used to attach to an existing Zellij session. Zellij is a terminal multiplexer and session manager that allows you to organize and manipulate multiple terminal sessions within a single interface.

When you start a Zellij session using the zellij command, it creates a new session and opens a new terminal window. To attach to an existing session, you can use the zellij attach command followed by the session ID or session name.

For example, if you have a Zellij session running in the background with the session ID "abc123", you can attach to it by running zellij attach abc123. Alternatively, if the session has a custom name assigned, you can use zellij attach mysession to attach to it.

Attaching to an existing Zellij session allows you to access and control the terminal sessions within that session. You can detach from the session again using a keyboard shortcut or by closing the terminal window.
