💖 NAME 💖

shy — barebones ssh launcher

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

shy [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

shy is a lil console ui for quickly connecting to an ssh server. it parses your ~/.ssh/config file and displays all your "Host" patterns, so you can quickly select one using a readline-ish prompt. lowkey iconic, no cap. 😌

Usually shy is started with no options:

shy

To connect more quickly to a host, you may want to launch in search mode:

shy -s

If you want to use a config file other than ~/.ssh/config, you can pass a path using the -c or --config options. easy peasy.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -c, --config _FILE_ — use _FILE_ instead of ~/.ssh/config. custom config era.
  • -h, --help — print a help summary and exit.
  • -v, --version — print version information and exit.

💀 NOTES 💀

if no config file is found, shy will fail to start. that's not a vibe, that's just the rule. 😭

shy has two modes: Navigation mode and Search mode. by default, the program is in Navigation mode — a simple list view that lets you move your selected host up or down. very main character.

By pressing i, s, f, or /, the program enters Search mode, allowing you to quickly jump to a host by typing the beginning of its name. slay. ✨
