๐ DESCRIPTION ๐
ssh-argv0 is literally the thing that replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling ๐ญ It's giving clean, no cap.
Here's the vibe: if you make a link to this script and give it a hostname, then running that link is the same as running ssh with that hostname as an argument. Iconic โจ
Anything else you throw at it gets passed along to ssh and handled the normal way ๐ซถ
๐ธ OPTIONS ๐ธ
