limactl shell

Execute shell in Lima

Synopsis

Execute shell in Lima

lima command is provided as an alias for limactl shell $LIMA_INSTANCE. $LIMA_INSTANCE defaults to “default”.

By default, the first ‘ssh’ executable found in the host’s PATH is used to connect to the Lima instance. A custom ssh alias can be used instead by setting the $SSH environment variable.

Hint: try –debug to show the detailed logs, if it seems hanging (mostly due to some SSH issue).
