55h

Terminal-first SSH host manager built with Go and tview/tcell.

brew install dev-minsoo/tap/55h

55h is focused on one job: making SSH host operations faster without leaving the terminal.

At a Glance

• Parses ~/.ssh/config and follows every Include target recursively
• Keeps browsing, searching, and actions in one TUI flow
• Supports instant actions: connect, test, delete, and create hosts

Why 55h

• 55h visually resembles ssh, matching the product's purpose
• Host list + detail panel are always visible in one place
• Workflow stays keyboard-centric end-to-end

Core Features

• Fuzzy-style search across alias/host/user/options
• In-app actions:
  • Connect (replace process with system ssh)
  • Ping/test connection
  • Delete host block in source file
• Persistent theme selection
• CLI for adding entries: 55h add ssh ...
