SSH and Git starters

Connect to a server

SSH connections

Select a host-managed SSH profile and run an approved remote uptime inspection.

Built-in SSH works on macOS, Windows and Linux. Configure credentials, a trusted host key and grants; the remote uptime command needs a compatible server.

Inspect Git remotes

Git with SSH profiles

Inspect references for two repositories with separate SSH credential profiles.

  3. Read README.md and SKILL.md, edit the source, and run the included tests.
