It also has an `Open Shell` option where you can easily SSH into the selected VM.\n\n## Pre-Requisites\n\n- A Windows OS (tested on Windows 10 Pro)\n- .NET Framework 4.0 Runtime or higher - [Download](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851)\n- An SSH Client - (Git Bash, Windows built-in SSH, PuTTY, etc.)\n- Administrative Privileges in Windows - Required for executing Hyper-V PowerShell Commands\n\n## Configuration Options\n\nThe `settings.json` in the same directory as the HyperVMs binary contains all the configuration needed to run it.\n\n- `defaultShell` - By default this is set to `windowsTerminal`, and possible values are `cmd`, `powershell`, `powershellCore` \u0026 `windowsTerminal`. You can even setup a completely new shell with correct arguments and use it.\n- `sshCommand` - The `ssh` client command used to shell into the VM. The default would work if the ssh client has a command `ssh` available in the `PATH` variable.\n- `autorun` - Determines if `HyperVMs` would autorun on windows startup\n\n```json\n{\n  \"shells\": {\n    \"cmd\": {\n      \"command\": \"cmd.exe\",\n      \"arguments\": \"/c\"\n    },\n    \"powershell\": {\n      \"command\": \"powershell.exe\",\n      \"arguments\": \"\"\n    },\n    \"powershellCore\": {\n      \"command\": \"pwsh.exe\",\n      \"arguments\": \"-c\"\n    },\n    \"windowsTerminal\": {\n      \"command\": \"wt.exe\",\n      \"arguments\": \"\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"sshCommand\": \"ssh\",\n  \"defaultShell\": \"windowsTerminal\",\n  \"autorun\": true,\n  \"hosts\": {}\n}\n```\n\n## Notes\n\n- Prior to using the `Open Shell` action, SSH connectivity needs to be setup between host \u0026 guest (i.e. Installing SSH Server, setting up private \u0026 public keys)\n\n- Preferred shell to open via `Open Shell` can be configured in Settings (i.e. use `Open Settings` menu item)\n\n- By default CMD, PowerShell, PowerShell Core \u0026 Windows Terminal shells are configured in `settings.json`, and one can be picked as the default shell\n\n- The user name used to SSH into the VM will asked the 1st time, and will be saved in the settings.json for subsequent uses.\n\n## Limitations\n\n- Currently HyperVMs can directly shell into VMs configured with the Hyper-V **Default Switch**. If an **Internal** or **External** Switch is used, then the host records need to be setup in the `%WINDIR%/System32/drivers/etc/hosts` file.\n\n  If the Hyper-V VM Name is \"SomeVM\", then the hostname `SomeVM.mshome.net` would need to be mapped into the corresponding IP manually.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n- Context Menu\n\n  ![Image](https://i.imgur.com/fbY0coR.png)\n\n- Managing VMs\n\n  ![Image](https://i.imgur.com/wfc1eyG.png)\n\n- SSH Into VM\n\n  ![Image](https://i.imgur.com/hmJQMCG.png)\n\n- VM Power On/Off\n\n  ![Image](https://i.imgur.com/cMQcUUH.png)\n\n## Contributing\n\n.NET Framework 4.0 SDK is needed to build the project - [Download](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851).\n\n- Clone the repository\n- Open the `HyperVMs.sln` in Visual Studio to build \u0026 run\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Femperorrxf%2Fhypervms","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Femperorrxf%2Fhypervms","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Femperorrxf%2Fhypervms/lists"}
