laio

Quick Start

Create Your First Session

The fastest way to get started with laio is to create a configuration and start it:

# Create a new configuration
laio config create myproject

# Start the session
laio start myproject

laio targets tmux by default. Experimental zellij and herdr backends are available via --muxer zellij|herdr or LAIO_MUXER on any command.

This creates a default configuration with:

  • An editor window that runs {{ editor | default(value="nvim") }} from the template (override with --var editor=<cmd>)
  • A terminal window with three panes: one pane beside two stacked panes in a nested column split (1:5 ratio)

View Available Sessions

List all sessions and configurations:

laio list

Each row shows a status icon:

  • ● - attached (running, you are in it)
  • ○ - active (running, not attached)
  • · - inactive (configuration only)

Stop a Session

Stop the session when you're done:

laio stop myproject
