SSH-Studio is a native GTK4 desktop app for editing and validating your ~/.ssh/config.
Search, edit, and validate SSH hosts with a clean UI — no need to touch terminal editors.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Visual host editor – Edit common fields (Host, HostName, User, Port, IdentityFile, ForwardAgent, etc.).
- Inline validation – Field-level errors shown directly under inputs; parser checks for duplicates and invalid ports.
- Search and filter – Quickly find hosts across aliases, hostnames, users, and identities.
- Raw/Diff view – Edit raw ssh_config text with instant diff highlighting.
- Quick actions – Copy SSH command, test connection, and revert changes.
- SSH Key Management – Import, generate, and use your keys without leaving the app.
- Safe saves – Automatic backups (configurable), atomic writes, and include support.
- Keyboard & mouse friendly – Smooth GTK 4 UI with dark theme preference.
- Translations – Ready for localization (gettext support via po/).
