Multi SSH

A multi-SSH terminal application built with Electron, providing a unified interface to manage multiple SSH connections simultaneously using xterm.js for terminal emulation and node-pty for pseudo-terminal support.

Features

• Multi-Terminal Interface: Connect to multiple SSH hosts in separate terminal panes
• Real Terminal Emulation: Full shell integration with proper PTY support
• Modern UI: Dark-themed interface with responsive design
• Send to All: Option to broadcast commands to all connected terminals

Configuration

Create a multi_ssh_config.yaml file based on multi_ssh_config.sample.yaml with your SSH hosts:

hostGroups:
  someHosts:
    - host1
    - host2
  otherHosts:
    - host2
    - host3

The config file can be stored in the following locations:

1. current working directory (./)
2. user home directory (~/)
3. /etc/multissh/multi_ssh_config.yaml

The fist found config is used.
