It would be helpful, to have wt.exe being mentioned in the Readme.md.

While creating an issue on not being able to find out how to run it from commandline, I found a closed issue already about it - others had the same issue finding info about it already.

Also, if you set

"startingDirectory": .

in settings, you can use "wt.exe" in File Explorer's path bar and start inside the directory File Explorer was in.

How does "use [...] in File Explorer's path bar" work? Typing the exe into it does not.

Please ensure you've set "StartingDir" to the value= . (that is a period, btw) in your profiles.json and start a new shell.

Go to File Explorer, pick an accessible directory by clicking into it as normal, then:

wt

Click into File Explorer's 'address bar and type "wt.exe" (no quotes, see above image) and press enter.

Give it a moment to start up, but when it does it should be in the same directory that File Explorer was :)
