SSHyGuy

A command-line tool to manage your SSH connections in a manner that's at least one magnitude better than history | grep ssh.

Install it yourself as:

$ gem install sshyguy

Then copy over a sample config file to ~/.sshyguy.json:

$ sshyguy --install

Edit your config file add servers.

{
  "hostname": "192.168.0.123",
  "port": "60301",
  "user": "deploy",
  "label": "Production",
  "shortcut": "production",
  "command": "",
  "options": ""
}

If command is present (not blank/empty/nil), it will be used to spawn the SSH connection. Otherwise, it will be built with ssh $user@$hostname -p $port $options.

Feeling lazy?

$ sshyguy

Will pull up a prompt that allows you to select what server to SSH into:

Select a server (Use ↑/↓ arrow or number (1-4) keys, press Enter to select)
‣ 1. Production (prod)
  2. Production Database (prod-db)
  3. Staging (staging)
  4. Staging Database (staging-db)

And then it will spawn an SSH connection so you can screw up production.

You can also get into Staging Database with just one line:

$ sshyguy -s staging-db
