📦 Installation
git clone https://github.com/foxhackerzdevs/sshm.git
cd sshm

⚙️ Usage
sshm
Example:
🚀 SSH Quick Connect
─────────────────────────────
1) server1
2) production
3) dev-box
4) Quit
🧩 Example SSH Config
Host server1
HostName example.com
User user
Host dev prod
HostName dev.example.com
User devuser
✔ Detects:
- server1
- dev
- prod
🛠️ How It Works
- Parses
~/.ssh/config - Extracts valid
Hostentries - Builds interactive menu
- Connects using
ssh <alias>
🔒 Notes
- Does not modify SSH config
- Requires system
ssh - Wildcard (
*) hosts are ignored
🚀 Future Plans
- 🔎 Fuzzy search (
fzf) - 📜 Show host details
- 🕘 Recent connections
- ⚡ Direct connect (
sshm <alias>)
