## Project history and usage

lazyssh is a Go terminal UI for browsing, editing, and connecting to hosts defined in OpenSSH config.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created on 2025-08-13. The README describes lazyssh as an interactive SSH manager inspired by lazydocker and k9s, built around a user's existing `~/.ssh/config` file.

### Adoption history

lazyssh published v0.1.0 on 2025-08-30 and v0.3.0 on 2025-10-08. GitHub metadata reported 3,629 stars by 2025-10-09.

### How it is used

The tool reads and displays servers from `~/.ssh/config`, offers fuzzy search, one-key SSH connection, tags, port-forwarding fields, proxy settings, key autocomplete, and non-destructive config writes with backups.

### Why package nerds care

lazyssh is package-nerd-friendly because it wraps OpenSSH rather than replacing it: the user's standard ssh binary and config remain the source of truth while the TUI adds navigation and editing.

### Timeline

- 2025-08-13: GitHub repository created.
- 2025-08-30: Release v0.1.0 published.
- 2025-10-08: Release v0.3.0 published.

### Related projects

- The README names lazydocker and k9s as inspirations and explicitly depends on the system OpenSSH binary and OpenSSH config format.
