xxh

xxh solves a common frustration: your carefully configured shell environment disappears when you SSH into a remote host. This tool lets you carry your favorite shell wherever you go through SSH, whether it's Xonsh, Fish, Zsh, Bash, or osquery.

Key advantages:

• Portable and secure: Shells and plugins are prepared locally and uploaded to the host. No root access or system installations needed on the remote machine.
• Completely reversible: Delete the ~/.xxh directory and the remote host returns to its original state as if xxh was never installed.
• Privacy-focused: Rather than blindly copying config files, you fork xxh plugins and pack your configurations into them, following best practices for repeatability.
• Flexible and extensible: Every xxh repository can be forked and customized. Five shells are currently supported, with community contributions adding more options.
• Beyond shells: xxh packages can run any portable tool or code. Run browsh, browsr, or other utilities on remote hosts by setting them as entrypoints.
• Switch shells on demand: Choose the right shell for each task without being locked into one option. Use xxh anyhost +s xonsh for Python work, osquery for queries, fish for modern features, or zsh/bash for speed.

Install via pip, pipx, conda, homebrew, or use portable binaries. Connect to remote hosts using xxh instead of ssh with all your familiar configurations intact.
