Command line options

Polypane has a few command line options.

Opening URLS

You can start Polypane with a URL as the first argument to open that url:

$ polypane https://example.com

On MacOs you can use:

$ open https://example.com -a "Polypane"`

Reload

To reload the currently active tab, call Polypane with the --reload flag:

$ polypane --reload

This will focus the Polypane window as well. If Polypane is not open yet, it will just launch Polypane

Prevent focus

You can start Polypane with -g to prevent it from focusing on launch.

$ polypane -g

Combine this with --reload to reload the currently active tab without also focusing Polypane.

$ polypane -g --reload

Use this to hook into your own live reload workflow.
