A simple helper for sshing into machines

Heim - Simplifying SSH Connections

Heim is a Rust-based tool designed to streamline the process of connecting to your servers using SSH. It achieves this by parsing your SSH configuration file and presenting a list of hosts in an interactive terminal window. Once a host is selected, Heim automatically initiates an SSH connection.

Installation

To build Heim, run the following command:

cargo build --release

Usage

Heim takes a --cfg_path flag to specify the path to your SSH configuration file. Here's an example of how to use Heim:

heim --cfg_path /path/to/your/ssh/config

This will display an interactive terminal window containing a list of hosts parsed from the specified SSH configuration file. Simply select the desired host, and Heim will initiate an SSH connection.

Demo

Building Heim

To build Heim, use the following command:

cargo build --release

The --release flag ensures that the binary is optimized for performance.
