A terminal workspace with batteries included
A workspace aimed at developers, ops-oriented people and anyone who loves the terminal.
Zellij's session resurrection feature preserves full pane structure and running commands even across reboots, allowing users to restore previous complex task contexts without manual reconfiguration.
Zellij provides floating and stacked panes, tab management, and session persistence that let users split terminals into multiple sections, organize work by project, and switch between named sessions—eliminating window-switching overhead and keeping context organized.
Zellij layouts (KDL configuration files) allow users to define pre-configured pane arrangements, auto-run commands, open files in editors, and version-control workspace templates—enabling one-command environment setup and seamless team onboarding.
Zellij's built-in web client and remote session access features let users connect to sessions via HTTPS from any browser, share read-only tokens with teammates, and enable pair programming and remote debugging without external infrastructure.
Zellij's WebAssembly plugin system and advanced CLI scriptability (blocking panes, JSON state queries, background sessions) allow users to write custom plugins in any WASM-compatible language and build sophisticated automation from shell scripts or external tools.
