sshm is a terminal user interface (TUI) application designed for managing SSH host entries stored in the ~/.ssh/config file. Published by nakaba-lab, the software falls into the system administration and network utilities category, specifically within the segment of SSH tooling and configuration management. Its purpose is to provide an interactive, text-based interface through which users can view, organize, and work with the host definitions that OpenSSH reads from its standard configuration file, offering an alternative to editing ~/.ssh/config directly by hand in a plain text editor. The software is relevant to a range of practical use cases. System administrators, developers, and other users who connect to multiple remote machines often accumulate large SSH configuration files containing numerous host entries, each with its own hostname, user, port, and authentication settings. A TUI-based host manager like sshm is suited to environments where such entries need to be browsed or maintained efficiently from within a terminal session, without leaving the command line or relying on a graphical desktop application. This makes it applicable to remote server administration, day-to-day development workflows involving frequent SSH connections, and general maintenance of SSH client configuration on systems where a terminal is the primary working environment. The current version of sshm is 1.2.0. The package has a recorded history of five versions, indicating ongoing development and a series of iterative releases since its initial publication. Users referencing the catalog entry can therefore distinguish between the latest available release and earlier versions in the package's version history. As a command-line oriented utility centered on the well-established ~/.ssh/config format, sshm occupies a focused niche: simplifying interaction with SSH host configuration for users who prefer keyboard-driven terminal workflows. Its identity as a TUI tool positions it alongside other console-based management utilities that prioritize lightweight operation and accessibility over SSH and remote administration tasks.
