Start window's terminal from CLI and pass in an executable command to run
wt new-tab -p "Command Prompt" -d "%cd%" cmd /k dir- You can omit
new-tab(its a default command). - Omitting
-d "%cd%"seems to be equivalent to-d "%USERPROFILE%". - You can omit
-p "Command Prompt"if your default profile is set to the cmd.exe profile. Checkwtsettings in the following file (Windows):
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.jsonTry a more complex command than dir, for instance
wt new-tab -p "Command Prompt" -d "%cd%" cmd /k "dir & type "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json""Please check the How to pass commands into the shell opened in new Windows Terminal thread as well.
