Sharing a terminal with other collaborators
In Live Share, we can also share a terminal with other developers. By sharing the terminal, we allow other developers to see more details of a project using the command line. After creating a new session, we can use the Share Terminal options to allow others to use our terminal (see Figure 10.15):

After clicking on Share Terminal (Read/Write), we will see a new terminal in a window with the text [Shared] above the window title, indicating that the window is being shared. In Figure 10.16, we can see the new terminal added in VS in the bottom panel:

Other collaborators will see this shared terminal automatically when they join the session. The collaborator in the session can execute any command in the project to get more details or add information...
