Streamline SSH connections with a simple Terminal UI
Scratching my own itch: ssm is an SSH connection manager designed to connect, filter, tag, and much more from a simple terminal interface. Works on top of installed command-line programs and does not require any setup on remote systems.
tl;dr - try now
See HELP for CLI flags.
See CHANGELOG for dev info.
- vim keys: jkhl, ctrl+d/u, g/G
- emacs keys: ctrl+p/n/b/f
- filter through all your servers
- switch between SSH and MOSH with a tab
- ctrl+e edit the loaded config
- ctrl+v shows all config params
- config will automatically reload on change
- CLI short-flags support e.g. ssm -seo enables --show, --exit, and --order
- group servers using tags e.g. #tag: admin
- show only admin tagged servers ssm admin
- use #tagorder key to prioritize tagged hosts in list-view
- use --theme to change color scheme
- edit themes.go to add more
