About Zellij
Zellij is an open source terminal workspace. It lets you split a terminal into panes and tabs and keep sessions running after you leave.
What it does
Zellij gives you a terminal workspace with panes, tabs and layouts, so one window can hold many shells and tools. Sessions can be detached and reattached later. A launch command lets you try it without installing, which is useful for a quick look before you commit to it.
Key features
- Split panes and tabs in one window
- Detach and reattach to running sessions
- Try it without installing using the launch command
- Works on Linux, macOS and Windows
- Optional hosted session sharing, currently in beta
Who it's for
Developers who run several terminal tasks at once, people who work over ssh, and anyone who wants terminal sessions that survive a closed window.
Pricing and good to know
Zellij is free and open source under the MIT license, with source on GitHub. The maintainers also run a paid hosted session sharing service, which is currently in beta. The core workspace does not depend on that service.
