The README identifies GGH as a small wrapper around SSH rather than a replacement for OpenSSH, and the repository later added install scripts and release binaries for Unix-like systems and Windows. ### Adoption history ggh spread through the ordinary small-CLI route: GitHub releases, `go install`, Homebrew packaging, Nix packaging, and AUR packages. Its appeal is practical rather than platform-defining: it gives terminal users a recall list for SSH targets without adopting a heavier connection manager. ### How it is used Practitioners invoke `ggh` like `ssh` for direct connections, run it without arguments to select from previous sessions, run `ggh -` to browse `~/.ssh/config`, and use `--config` or `--history` for non-interactive listing. ### Why package nerds care The package is a good example of a small Go utility that turns shell history and SSH config conventions into a dedicated executable while still depending on the system SSH client. ### Timeline - 2024: The GitHub repository was created and v0.1.0 was published. - 2024: v0.1.4 was published. - 2025: v0.1.5 was published. ### Related projects - ggh is related to OpenSSH and to terminal fuzzy-selection workflows, but it deliberately stays a wrapper around the installed `ssh` executable. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
