sshconf

Small CLI utility to manage ssh config file on Linux/Mac

Requirements

• wget or cURL
• PHP 8.0

Installation

Copy and paste the following set of commands in your shell/terminal:

wget https://github.com/avramovic/sshconf/releases/latest/download/sshconf.phar && mv sshconf.phar /usr/local/bin/sshconf && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sshconf && echo "sshconf installed, type: sshconf" && test -e ~/.ssh/config && cp ~/.ssh/config ~/.ssh/config.sshconf.backup

No wget? Try with cURL:

curl -L https://github.com/avramovic/sshconf/releases/latest/download/sshconf.phar -o sshconf.phar && mv sshconf.phar /usr/local/bin/sshconf && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sshconf && echo "sshconf installed, type: sshconf" && test -e ~/.ssh/config && cp ~/.ssh/config ~/.ssh/config.sshconf.backup

This will download and copy the executable in /usr/local/bin/sshconf and will back up existing ssh config file if it exists.
