Windows terminal, start two commands in tabs

I'd like to create a script that starts two shell processes in two different tabs of Windows Terminal. There is a parameter called "new-tab" but I can't make it work at all.

Is it possible to create a single script that opens Windows Terminal and run two console applications in two different tabs?

Thanks,

By script, I hope you mean batch script, in which case try this:

wt.exe -w 1 nt PowerShell -c node "sample.js"
wt.exe -w 1 nt PowerShell -c npm test

To change the title of the tab use the --title argument.

wt.exe --title MyCoolTab
