Support for multiple hosts in ssh config and / or ignore ssh config file. about shuttle HOT 5 CLOSED

+1

I have some hosts in my config that I don't access that often or not with the terminal. I'd like to get rid of those.

It's not documented yet, but if you prefix the Host in your .ssh/config with a dot, it will be ignored when building the menu.

Also, you can group menu items in your .ssh/config with a "/".

I acknowledge the other issue you mentioned of having multiple hosts per line, though. I'll have to figure out the best way to handle that.

Might be a dumb question, but: Are there no side-effects when prefixing hosts with a dot?

I have something like this in my config:

Host coolhostname.com
HostName coolhostname.com
Port 50008

Prefixing the Host value with a dot makes ssh [email protected] not acknowledge that section anymore.

Do I have a fundamentally wrong understanding of the whole SSH config thing?

Ah, thanks, interesting hidden features, however one limitation I can easily think of with the dot prefix is the following:

Host server1 server2
    HostName %h.website.com

Prefixing server1 with a dot would make it ".server1.website.com" which should not work? Or is the dot prefix something part of the ssh_config and does something special?

Update: Realized I could just work around this by adding e.g. ".disabled" in front of server1 :)

Closing this issue for now. Please open a new one if the issue has not been resolved.
