Organizing hosts
Group, tags, colour, notes
Section titled “Group, tags, colour, notes”In a host’s Organization section:
| Example | ||
|---|---|---|
| Group | Production, Staging |
the list is grouped by it |
| Tags | web, db, cache |
comma-separated; searchable |
| Color | red | a label colour shown with the host |
| Notes | Ubuntu 24.04, backups at 03:00 |
anything you want to remember |
Give production servers a red label and a different terminal theme, and you’ll always know where you’re typing.
Searching
Section titled “Searching”Type in the search field above the list. Search is fuzzy and covers names, addresses and tags: prod finds production-web, prod-db, and anything tagged prod.
Or press ⌘K anywhere and type a host’s name: the command palette offers Connect to and Browse files on for it.
Quick connect
Section titled “Quick connect”To reach a server once without saving it, type user@host:port in the Quick connect field and press Return.
Editing and deleting
Section titled “Editing and deleting”Edit or delete a host from its menu in the list. Deleting a host also deletes its password from the Keychain.
