SSH Manager

SSH Manager is a simple command-line tool written in Go for managing and connecting to remote servers using SSH. It reads and parses your SSH config file, lists available servers, and allows you to select a server to SSH into quickly and easily.

Available for: Linux, MacOS && Windows

Features

• Parse SSH config file (~/.ssh/config)
• Display a list of SSH configurations in a table format
• Filter server entries by search term
• Select a server by ID and connect via SSH
• Handle default SSH parameters like port (22) and identity file

Requirements

• Go 1.16 or later
• An SSH config file located at ~/.ssh/config
• SSH client installed (usually pre-installed on most systems)

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the binary

To get started with SSH Manager, you can either download the precompiled binary or clone this repository and build the application.

Option 1: Clone the repository and build it

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ssh-manager.git
cd ssh-manager
go build -o sshm .
sudo mv sshm /usr/local/bin/sshm

Option 2: Download the binary

Replace "{YOUR-version}" with the rest of the name of your downloaded file

sudo mv ~/Downloads/sshm-{YOUR-version} /usr/local/bin/sshm

For macOS users, if you moved the binary in bin, but you can't use sshm because of permissions or because of Gatekeeper(can't be verified by Apple)

sudo chmod +x sshm
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine sshm

For Windows users we need to register our exe in PATH. As a first step, you can create a new folder named "bin" in "C:/Users/YourUsername". After that we need to register that path.

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(
  "PATH",
  $env:PATH + ";C:\Users\YourUsername\bin",
  [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User
)

Move your sshm.exe in that folder to the root directory and restart the terminal.

Usage

1. Listing SSH configurations

To list all saved SSH configurations in a table format:

sshm

If you want to filter the list by a search term (for example, search for a specific server by name):

sshm <search_term>

Want to run a command on multiple servers? Just use the -r flag — this opens the server table where you can select servers with Space. Press TAB to switch to the command input. When you’re done, hit ENTER to run it. search term is optional

sshm -r <search_term>

2. Connecting to a server

After listing the available SSH configurations, you will be prompted to select a server by its ID.

Roadmap

• Cache configuration list
• Generate a small table displaying the server status, including storage, load, CPU, and RAM usage.
