About the project

Zellij is terminal workspace with batteries included layouts and plugins. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How projects are distributed

Packaging differs from project to project. Some publish to system repositories, some to their own index, some only as source archives that a build tool expects.

What to confirm beforehand

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Once it is in place

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
