Wish is a Go library for building custom SSH applications, built on gliderlabs/ssh with sensible defaults and a middleware system analogous to HTTP frameworks. It supports serving Bubble Tea TUIs, Git, and other protocols directly over SSH connections.

Use cases

• serve a terminal UI app over ssh
• build a custom ssh server in go
• host a git server over ssh
• add ssh access to an existing go application
• authenticate users with ssh keys
• build a chat app accessible from the terminal

When to choose

• you want to build remotely accessible terminal apps without managing HTTPS certificates
• you want SSH key-based user identification out of the box
• you want to serve Bubble Tea TUIs to remote users

When to avoid

• you just need standard remote shell access to a server - use openssh-server
• you are building a web app for browsers rather than terminal clients
• your project is not written in Go
