Install the Arga CLI, sign in once, then create a 60-minute twin run. The command waits until the environment is ready and prints its connection details.
Terminal
$ uv tool install arga-cli$ arga login$ arga twin-runs create --twins gitlab --ttl 60 --waitAdd --scenario-prompt to describe the state the twin should start with.
