Zellij

Terminal workspace with batteries included

About Zellij

At its core, Zellij is a terminal multiplexer and workspace aimed at developers who want panes, tabs and layouts out of the box. In everyday use, its discoverable UI and plugin system in WebAssembly make it friendlier than classic multiplexers. For developers, the appeal is simple: less infrastructure busywork, faster feedback and tooling that fits into existing workflows instead of replacing them wholesale.
