gukab

A terminal-only (TUI) SSH connection manager for network devices, built in Rust with ratatui + russh (pure-Rust SSH, no OpenSSL). Targets Arch Linux x86_64 and macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel).

Contents

• Installation — one-liner, manual download, from source, updating
• Configuration — hosts.toml, groups, credentials
• Automations — macros, expect rules, on-connect
• Keybindings — host list & in-session keys
• Security — credentials, host-key verification, file permissions

What it does

• Fuzzy host search with relevance ranking — the closest match floats to the top.
• Host groups — collapsible, per-group icons, indented members.
• Session automation — keyboard macros (Ctrl+A picker) and regex expect rules that auto-answer prompts (e.g. enable passwords).
• Password or SSH-key auth — point a host at a private key (identity_file); only the path is stored, never the key.
• Credentials in the OS keychain — never written to config files.
• Per-session logging — every session transcript saved per host.
