zellij: List existing sessions.
$ zellij list-sessions
try on your machine

The command "zellij list-sessions" is used in the Zellij terminal multiplexer to display a list of active sessions.

In the Zellij terminal multiplexer, sessions refer to separate instances of terminal sessions that are running simultaneously. Each session can have its own set of windows and panes.

When you run the "zellij list-sessions" command, it will display a list of all the active sessions along with their session IDs, names, and the number of windows they contain. This is particularly useful when you have multiple sessions open and want to quickly switch between them or perform any other session-related tasks.

By examining the output of this command, you can determine the session you want to interact with and use other Zellij commands to switch to a specific session or perform operations within a session like creating or closing windows, splitting panes, etc.
