history
Project history and usage
ggh is a lightweight SSH wrapper that remembers SSH invocations and searches entries from a user's SSH configuration.
Project history
The byawitz/ggh repository was created in August 2024 and published its v0.1.0 release the same day. The README identifies GGH as a small wrapper around SSH rather than a replacement for OpenSSH, and the repository later added install scripts and release binaries for Unix-like systems and Windows.
Adoption history
ggh spread through the ordinary small-CLI route: GitHub releases, `go install`, Homebrew packaging, Nix packaging, and AUR packages. Its appeal is practical rather than platform-defining: it gives terminal users a recall list for SSH targets without adopting a heavier connection manager.
How it is used
Practitioners invoke `ggh` like `ssh` for direct connections, run it without arguments to select from previous sessions, run `ggh -` to browse `~/.ssh/config`, and use `--config` or `--history` for non-interactive listing.
Why package nerds care
The package is a good example of a small Go utility that turns shell history and SSH config conventions into a dedicated executable while still depending on the system SSH client.
Timeline
- 2024: The GitHub repository was created and v0.1.0 was published.
- 2024: v0.1.4 was published.
- 2025: v0.1.5 was published.
Related projects
- ggh is related to OpenSSH and to terminal fuzzy-selection workflows, but it deliberately stays a wrapper around the installed `ssh` executable.
