ptyxis [OPTION]... [-- PROGRAM ARGUMENTS]

ptyxis is a container-oriented, designed for the GNOME desktop. It provides tight integration with podman, toolbox, distrobox, and jhbuild to simplfy container-based development and system management.

--version

Show the version of the program.

--preferences

Show the preferences window.

--new-window

Open a new window in an existing instance of Ptyxis. If Ptyxis is not running, a new instance is started.

May be combined with --working-directory and --execute and --title options.

--tab

Open a new tab in the most-recently-used window of an existing Ptyxis instance. If Ptyxis is not running, a new instance is started.

May be combined with --working-directory and --execute and --title options.

-x,  --execute

Execute a custom command.

This is similar to using -- to provide the custom command except that the entire command line should be provided as a single argument.

In general, you should use -- instead of this option. This is primarily available to be similar to bash -c 'command'

May be combined with --working-directory and --title options.

-d,  --working-directory

Set the current working directory for a new tab, window, or custom command.

--title=TITLE

Sets the title for a new terminal page created with either --tab or --new-window.

--maximize

--fullscreen

--tab-with-profile=PROFILE

Creates a new tab in an existing instance using the specified profile. The profile should be a UUID string which can be found in the profile editor of the preferences dialog.

Single instance mode is implied when running a -- command.
