A simple SSH manager that extracts and manages SSH sessions from your bash/zsh history for quick reconnection.
ssh-connect is a simple SSH manager that extracts SSH connection commands from your bash or zsh history files. It helps users quickly find and reconnect to previously used SSH sessions without manually searching through history or remembering complex connection strings.
Developers and system administrators who frequently use SSH to connect to multiple servers and want a lightweight way to manage and reconnect to past sessions.
It provides a zero-configuration approach to SSH session management by leveraging existing shell history, making it faster to reconnect than manually typing commands or using more complex SSH management tools.

Leverages existing shell history without requiring additional config files, aligning with its minimalist philosophy as stated in the README.
Parses $HISTFILE to automatically find and store SSH sessions, eliminating manual entry based on the key features description.
Works with both bash and zsh shells, making it versatile for common terminal environments as highlighted in the README.
Provides an easy selection method to reconnect to past sessions, demonstrated in the demo GIF and described in the features.
Only supports bash and zsh, excluding users of other shells like fish or tcsh, which restricts its applicability.
README lacks details on configuration, troubleshooting, or advanced usage, making it challenging for customization beyond basic setup.
Entirely relies on shell history; if history is corrupted, cleared, or not logged, connections can be lost without backup options.
Missing features for organizing, editing, or securing connections beyond extraction, limiting its utility for complex SSH workflows.
