What is Shellij?

Shellij is a thin wrapper around the popluar terminal multiplexer zellij. Simplify using Zellij over SSH.

Dependencies

• Zellij must be installed BOTH locally and on the remote server
• fzf is required on the local machine

Features

Shellij features a subset of the common commands for interacting with both SSH and Zellij together.

Create and attach to a new Zellij session on a remote server

shellij user@remote.com create session-name

Delete a Zellij session on a remote server

shellij user@192.168.0.1 delete session-name

List all Zellij sessions on a remote server

shellij user@remote.com list

When no subcommands are provided one of three things occur:

shellij user@remote.com

1. If no sessions are found then Shellij will create and attach to the newly created session
2. If only a single session is found then Shellij will automatically attach to that session
3. If multiple sessions are found then you will be prompted to select a session via fzf

Should you use this?

Probably not.
