Lima is like a "macOS subsystem for Linux" ↦
Lima launches Linux VMs on your Intel or ARM-based Mac with automatic file sharing, port forwarding, and containerd. That means you can easily do cool stuff like:
$ echo "files under /Users on macOS filesystem are readable from Linux" > some-file
$ lima cat some-file
files under /Users on macOS filesystem are readable from Linux
$ lima sh -c 'echo "/tmp/lima is writable from both macOS and Linux" > /tmp/lima/another-file'
$ cat /tmp/lima/another-file
/tmp/lima is writable from both macOS and Linux"
