0:00Create a session attached, or spin one up headless as a background daemon.

0:05rysh create my-session builds a fresh session and attaches its TUI right away.

0:15Add --detached, or just -d, and the daemon spawns headlessly -- no TUI, control returns to your prompt.

0:27List your sessions and the headless one is right there, running in the background.

0:36Attach to it whenever you like with rysh attach. Detached now, fully interactive when you need it.

Key takeaway
rysh create makes a session attached, or --detached runs it headlessly as a daemon you attach to later.
