# Quickstart

> Create useful tabs and a local-server split from a Radius terminal.

This quickstart creates:

* A Linear issue in its own tab
* An Electron pull request in its own tab
* A localhost tab split beside the terminal
* One group containing all of the tabs

## 1. Open a terminal in a group

In Radius, create or select a group and open a terminal tab inside it. The
`radius` command and the current group context are available automatically.

## 2. Paste the commands

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
radius group rename "$RADIUS_GROUP_ID" "Development"

radius tab open "https://linear.app/linear/issue/LIN-111/welcome-to-linear"
radius tab open "https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/48091"

local_server="$(radius tab open "http://localhost:3000" --right-of "$RADIUS_TAB_ID" --size 60%)"
radius tab focus "$local_server"
```

The Linear issue and pull request open as separate tabs. Localhost opens beside
the terminal as the only split. All of the tabs remain in the same group.

<Note>
  The localhost tab is still created if no server is running. You can test the
  layout first and start your server later.
</Note>

## 3. Inspect the result

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
radius group show "$RADIUS_GROUP_ID"
```

## Run it again

Running the commands again creates another set of tabs. `tab open` always
opens a new tab; Radius does not silently reuse an existing URL.

Next, turn these commands into a
[group startup script](/docs/guides/startup-scripts), or browse the
[Cookbook](/docs/cookbook) for more recipes.
