assh
A transparent SSH wrapper that adds regex, aliases, gateways, dynamic hostnames, and hooks to your SSH client.
What is assh?
assh is an advanced SSH configuration wrapper that extends the standard OpenSSH client with features like regex host matching, alias definitions, gateway chaining, and dynamic hostname resolution. It solves the problem of managing complex SSH configurations by providing a structured YAML-based configuration system with inheritance, includes, and event-driven hooks.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers who manage multiple SSH hosts, especially in environments requiring bastion hosts, jump boxes, or complex network topologies.
Developers choose assh because it transparently enhances SSH with powerful configuration features without breaking compatibility with existing SSH-based tools. Its unique YAML configuration with inheritance and hooks provides maintainability and automation capabilities missing in standard SSH config files.
