lazyssh

lazyssh is a terminal-based, interactive SSH manager inspired by tools like lazydocker and k9s — but built for managing your fleet of servers directly from your terminal.

With lazyssh, you can quickly navigate, connect, manage, and transfer files between your local machine and any server defined in your ~/.ssh/config.
No more remembering IP addresses or running long scp commands — just a clean, keyboard-driven UI.

✨ Features

Server Management

📜 Read & display servers from your ~/.ssh/config in a scrollable list.
➕ Add a new server entry from the UI by specifying:
- Host alias
- HostName / IP
- Username
- Port
- Identity file
✏ Edit existing server entries directly from the UI.
🗑 Delete server entries safely.

🔍 Fuzzy search through servers by alias or IP.
⏩ Instant SSH into selected server with a single keypress.
🏷 Grouping/tagging of servers (e.g., prod, dev, test) for quick filtering.

Remote Operations

🖥 Open Terminal: Start an SSH session instantly.
📤 Copy from server → local: Select remote file/folder, choose local destination.
📥 Copy from local → server: Select local file/folder, choose remote destination.

Port Forwarding

📡 Easily forward local ports to remote services (and vice versa) from the UI.
Save & reuse common port forwarding setups.

SSH Key Management

🔑 Deploy public keys to selected servers directly from the UI.
Choose one of three modes:
- Use your default local public key (~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub or ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)
- Paste a custom public key manually
- Generate a new keypair and deploy it
Automatically append the key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with correct permissions.
