Zellij is a terminal workspace that lets you split, stack, and float panes, manage tabs and persistent sessions, all from the command line. It also supports WebAssembly plugins and a built‑in web client for collaborative terminal sessions.
Use cases
- Split a terminal into multiple panes for parallel command execution
- Persist and restore terminal sessions across reboots
- Organise related commands into tabs and named sessions
- Automate workspace setup with reusable layout files
- Share a live terminal session with teammates for pair‑programming
- Extend the terminal with custom WebAssembly plugins
When to choose
- You need a powerful, scriptable terminal multiplexer with floating and stacked panes
- You want to automate complex workspace configurations with version‑controlled layouts
- Collaboration inside the terminal is a requirement
- You prefer a tool that works across Linux, macOS, Windows and also offers a web client
When to avoid
- You only need a simple single‑pane terminal emulator
- You require a full graphical IDE rather than a terminal‑based workflow
- Resource constraints make a Rust‑based multiplexer unsuitable
