## What it is
Lazyssh is a terminal-based interactive SSH manager written in Go, inspired by lazydocker and k9s. It provides a keyboard-driven TUI for browsing, connecting to, and editing servers defined in ~/.ssh/config, with fuzzy search, tagging, ping checks, and port forwarding configuration.

## Use cases
- manage ssh servers from terminal
- quickly connect to servers without remembering ips
- edit ssh config file with a ui
- fuzzy search hosts in ssh config
- tag and filter servers like prod and dev
- set up ssh port forwarding
- ping servers to check status
- replace long scp commands with a picker

## When to choose
- you manage many servers via ~/.ssh/config and want a k9s-style TUI
- you want a safe wrapper that uses the native OpenSSH binary and never stores credentials
- you frequently edit ssh config entries, port forwards, or proxy settings
- you want keyboard-driven fuzzy navigation across a server fleet

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or graphical SSH client
- you need features like key deployment or file transfer that are still upcoming
- you only connect to one or two servers and plain ssh suffices
- you need an SSH agent or credential vault - lazyssh deliberately does not store secrets

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
