ssh-known-hosts

Connect to a host from a defined pool of hosts by an easy to remember name.

Usage

$ ssh-known-hosts connect uwm-ale

$ ssh-known-hosts list

Local              Real Host
----------------------------
uwm-ale            <hidden>
minecraft-linode   <hidden>
...

Configuration

The configuration file uses a basic yaml structure:

hosts:
  # hosts is a map from local-names to host specifications
  google:
    user_name: root
    host: google.com
    port: 22
  # You also have the option to leave the port field off for a
  # default value of 22
  facebook:
    user_name: root
    host: 192.168.1.1

The utility looks for ~/.ssh_known_hosts.yml by default, but this can be override when calling. run ssh-known-hosts help for more information.
