[Installation] [Overview] [Configuration] [Templates] [FAQ]
Zellij is a workspace aimed at developers, ops-oriented people and anyone who loves the terminal. At its core, it is a terminal multiplexer (similar to tmux and GNU Screen), but this is merely its infrastructure layer.
Zellij includes a layout system, and a plugin system allowing one to create plugins in any language that compiles to WebAssembly.
You can get started by installing Zellij and reading the overview.
For more details about our future plans, read about upcoming features in our roadmap.
Zellij was initially called Mosaic.
You can install with cargo:
cargo install --locked zellij
Or if want to a prebuilt binary, you can download it from our releases, or use cargo-binstall.
cargo-binstall zellij
Or you can also use Third Party Repositories.
bash/zsh:
bash <(curl -L zellij.dev/launch)
fish:
bash (curl -L zellij.dev/launch | psub)
Zellij is a labour of love built by an enthusiastic team of volunteers. We eagerly welcome anyone who would like to join us, regardless of experience level, so long as they adhere to our Code of Conduct.

To get started, you can:
- Take a look at the Issues in this repository - especially those marked "good first issue". Those with the "help wanted" tag probably don't have anyone else working on them.
- Drop by our Discord, or Matrix chat and ask what you can work on, or how to get started.
- Open an issue with your idea(s) for the project or tell us about them in our chat.
- Clone the project
- In the project folder, for debug builds run:
cargo xtask run - To run all tests:
cargo xtask test
For more build commands, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
For configuring Zellij, please see the Configuration Documentation.
Zellij should be ready for everyday use, but it's still classified as a beta. This means that there might be a rare crash or wrong behaviour here and there, but that once found it should be fixed rather quickly. If this happens to you, we would be very happy if you could open an issue and tell us how to reproduce it as best you can.
Presented here is the project roadmap, divided into three main sections.
These are issues that are either being actively worked on or are planned for the near future.
