sshmate is a tool designed to simplify interactions with SSH servers. It provides an easy way to connect to servers by assigning a name to an address. After adding a connection, you can directly connect to the server using the name you provided.
It also allows adding log messages to existing connections. These log messages serve as additional descriptions of the server, making it easier to remember what the server is for and how it’s been changed over time. For example, you might add log messages like upgraded mysql or installed nginx using latest version. Then, when you need to connect to the server again, you can simply search for keywords in the log messages to quickly find the server you need.
sshmate also supports symbolic links, which means that sshmate can be installed at any path. sshmate includes an autocompletion feature that makes it easy to quickly navigate between connction names using the tab key.
This is free and open source software.
