SSHelter gives it a clean GUI **without** rewriting your file: comments, blank lines, ordering, and unknown directives are preserved byte-for-byte (only the lines you actually change are touched).\n\n## Stack\n\n- **Shell:** [Tauri 2](https://v2.tauri.app/) (Rust backend) — all privileged file IO and SSH-tool invocation happen in Rust; the WebView gets **zero** filesystem/shell permission. The security boundary is the Rust command surface.\n- **Frontend:** React + TypeScript + Vite, [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com/) + Tailwind v4, TanStack Query (backend state) + Zustand (UI state).\n- **Approach:** hybrid — pure-Rust where it's byte-compatible (config CST parser, keys, known_hosts), shell-out only where the system tool is clearly better (`ssh-add` Keychain/FIDO, launching `ssh` in a terminal).\n\n## Features\n\n- **Lossless config editing** — a clean GUI host editor over `~/.ssh/config` and every `Include`d file; only the lines you change are touched, so comments, ordering, and unknown directives survive byte-for-byte.\n- **Connect** — launch `ssh \u003chost\u003e` into your terminal of choice (macOS Terminal/iTerm2, common Linux emulators), from a per-row button, the editor header, or the menubar tray's quick-connect list.\n- **Command palette (⌘K)** — fuzzy-jump to any host; \u003ckbd\u003eEnter\u003c/kbd\u003e connects, \u003ckbd\u003e⌘Enter\u003c/kbd\u003e edits, plus quick actions (new host, toggle theme, reload).\n- **Config intelligence** — per-host **key hygiene** (which IdentityFiles exist, IdentitiesOnly/explicit state), **ProxyJump chain** visualization (flags hops not defined in your config), and the resolved **effective config** (`ssh -G`); plus a global **linter** (invalid ports, unresolvable hosts, missing keys, shadowed aliases, duplicate directives).\n- **Host discovery** — surface candidate hosts from `known_hosts` and your Tailscale network.\n- **Backup history \u0026 restore** — every write is snapshotted; browse and restore prior versions (restore is itself backed up first and validated against managed paths).\n- **Key management** — list `~/.ssh` keypairs with fingerprints and agent status, generate ed25519 keys (passphrase flow via your terminal), copy public keys, and deploy with `ssh-copy-id`.\n- **known_hosts editor** — view, search, and safely remove host-key entries (lossless line removal, backed up first) — the \"host key changed after a reinstall\" cleanup without the terminal.\n- **Host organization** — drag-to-reorder within a file, move hosts between config files (byte-identical block moves), duplicate as a template, rename the `Host` line itself, and give source files custom display names.\n- **Settings (⌘,)** — System-Settings-style preferences: theme (system/light/dark), text size, menu bar icon \u0026 close-to-tray, launch at login, global quick-connect hotkey, default + per-host terminal, new-tab launch (iTerm2), custom config path, backup retention, discovery sources, drift auto-check, per-rule lint toggles, and settings export/import.\n- **Auto-update** — signed updates (minisign) delivered from GitHub Releases via the Tauri updater; checks on launch (optional) or on demand from Settings.\n\n## Install\n\nDownload the installer for your platform from [Releases](https://github.com/ysya/sshelter/releases/latest) (`.dmg` for macOS, `.AppImage`/`.deb`/`.rpm` for Linux — ignore the `.sig` files; they're update signatures).\n\n**macOS:** builds are not yet notarized with Apple, so Gatekeeper blocks the downloaded app (often as \"damaged\"). After dragging SSHelter to Applications, clear the quarantine flag once:\n\n```bash\nxattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SSHelter.app\n```\n\nSubsequent auto-updates install in-app and don't need this again.\n\n## Development\n\nPrerequisites: Rust (rustup), Node + pnpm, and platform build deps (macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools; Linux: `libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev build-essential libssl-dev librsvg2-dev`).\n\n```bash\npnpm install            # install JS deps\npnpm tauri dev          # run the desktop app (Rust + Vite dev server)\npnpm build              # type-check + build the frontend\n```\n\nTests:\n\n```bash\npnpm test               # frontend unit tests (vitest)\ncd src-tauri \u0026\u0026 cargo test   # backend tests\n```\n\n## Recommended IDE Setup\n\n[VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) + [Tauri](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tauri-apps.tauri-vscode) + [rust-analyzer](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rust-lang.rust-analyzer).\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE) © Frank Sung\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fysya%2Fsshelter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fysya%2Fsshelter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fysya%2Fsshelter/lists"}
