warp: a bash script to SSH from a list of hostnames
I maintain a pretty large ~/.ssh/config
, so Jonathan Palardy's take on solving the same problem appeals to me. His pitch:
Imagine if you could SSH somewhere by picking a hostname from a list.
He then goes on to answer why warp is a good solution:
If you have a bunch of servers you can SSH to, think about how you manage that now:
- you TYPE the hostname, maybe relying on bash completion?
- you create a BUNCH of aliases, with varying level of sophistication, based on how many hostnames?
Picking from a list solves all that.
He's got me pinned. I have a lot of aliases and I often have to look them up when I haven't connected to a server for awhile. Here's warp in action:
