## Testing

Running a Nested GNOME Shell - https://gjs.guide/extensions/development/debugging.html#reloading-extensions

The most convenient way to test incremental changes, especially for Wayland users, is by running a nested instance of GNOME Shell. Running the following command from a terminal will start a new gnome-shell process, with its own D-Bus session:

```bash

dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --nested --wayland

```

Now, you can checkout the extension installed or enable it from Extension Manager.
