I built LazySSH out of a personal need. I was managing 40+ servers, and even with ~/.ssh/config, it became painful to remember aliases, edit entries, and stay organized.
LazySSH is a terminal-based, interactive SSH manager with a simple, keyboard-driven UI. It lets you: - Browse and manage servers from your ~/.ssh/config - Add, edit, pin, ping, or delete entries interactively - Fuzzy search, tag, and sort servers - SSH into any host instantly with one keypress
More features are coming soon: file copy (no more long scp commands), port forwarding, and SSH key management.

I’d love feedback — especially from DevOps folks and sysadmins. What features would make this more useful in your workflow?
Thanks for checking it out!
