Omnyssh - Finally a tool that helps me handling my ssh connections properly
I was wondering when I saw this little github repo on reddit, and oh well. I won't handle my ssh stuff at work without it anymore.
Frankly, this tool deserves more GitHub stars. At 414 at the time of writing, I really hope it gets the recognition it deserves. You can check it out here: https://github.com/timhartmann7/omnyssh
As with any tool, there is that little moment where you need to set it up, but honestly it took me only about 2 minutes on Windows AND Linux (in WSL mode) to add the SSH connections I work with most. I wouldn't use this tool just for SSH, though. What finally sold me is that it combines something I once even vibecoded myself, but with a very "not so great" interface: SFTP.
That is the feature that made it worthwhile to install. I also like its simplicity. There isn't much fluff in there, and there's even a light mode. Not for me in terminals, but still, a nice little point I wanted to underline.
My honest take: great tool. Simple, focused on exactly what it says it does and nothing else. Totally deserves some love from the dev community!
