Q: Persistent State
Does the terminal maintain state between sessions and after a page reload? Does it version files being edited? If this is geared toward coding can you flesh out the roadmap more? I would want to work with Git and other tools.

Edited Oct 19, 2024A: By design Interactive Shell offers a freshly built self contained new environment every time you refresh the browser. Should you want persistent data, you can create files in the IDE workspace and then access from the terminal’s /mnt directory. This feature is available on the Pro Ubuntu terminal only. Yes, we are working on our roadmap. Git and several coding languages are added to the terminal, should you need more- feel free to let us know via a support ticket.
Technically speaking, Interactive Shell creates a new container on each browser refresh, hence it is secured, accessible and personal to the user who is looking at it.
DigitalGeekHello, is it possible to push Interactive Shell to do snapshots and restores like VMware?
It allows :
Data and configuration persistence
Command history
And avoid having to reinstall all modules and updates, so there's less friction when resuming work at a later date. 😥
No it’s not possible, all packages, modules and environments managed centrally, command history not preserved.
We may add this feature in the future, thanks for the suggestion.
