Change Log

All notable changes to the "ssh-control" extension will be documented in this file.

Check Keep a Changelog for recommendations on how to structure this file.

[1.0.1] - 2025-10-01

Changed

  • Global Configuration by Default: SSH config now saves to ~/.ssh-control/ssh-config.json by default
    • Configuration is now shared across all workspaces
    • Workspace-specific configs (ssh-config.json in project root) are still supported if they exist
    • Both configs are merged when workspace config is present (workspace groups prefixed with [Workspace])
  • Config Button Behavior: Open config button now opens workspace config if it exists, otherwise opens global config

Fixed

  • Removed annoying "SSH Control loaded" notification that appeared on every terminal open

[1.0.0] - 2025-09-26

Added

  • Command Snippets: Define reusable command snippets at group and host levels
    • Add snippets array to groups and hosts in SSH configuration
    • Each snippet has a name and command for easy identification and execution
    • Support for complex multi-command snippets (e.g., systemctl status nginx && df -h && free -m)
  • Hierarchical Snippet Inheritance: Snippets automatically inherit from parent groups to child hosts
    • Host-level snippets have access to all parent group snippets
    • More specific (host-level) snippets take precedence over duplicates
    • Full aggregation from top-level groups down to individual hosts

[0.2.0] - 2025-09-25

Added

  • Remote Hosts & Groups: Support for fetching both hosts and groups from remote URLs
    • Fetch complete nested structures from HTTP/HTTPS endpoints
    • Support for JSON format with hosts and groups arrays
    • HTTP Basic Authentication support for secured endpoints
    • Automatic caching with 5-minute TTL to reduce network calls
    • Remote data merges with local data (additive, not replacement)
    • Error handling with fallback to cached data
  • Timestamp Placeholder: URLs now support [timestamp] placeholder for cache busting
    • [timestamp] gets replaced with current timestamp (milliseconds since epoch)
    • Useful for bypassing server-side caching: ?ts=[timestamp]
  • Add Child Groups: UI button to create nested groups within existing groups
    • Folder icon (📁) button appears next to each group
    • Creates nested group structure with full inheritance support
  • UI Commands:
    • "Remote Cache Info" command to view cache status (shows hosts and groups count)

Changed

  • Enhanced Inheritance: Remote groups support the same inheritance rules as local groups
  • Remote data is fetched asynchronously when groups are expanded
  • Regular refresh button now clears remote cache automatically

[0.1.0] - 2025-01-27

Added

  • Nested Groups with Inheritance: Support for hierarchical group organization
    • Groups can contain other groups for better organization
    • Full SSH configuration inheritance from parent to child groups
    • Settings cascade down the hierarchy (host > child group > parent group)
    • Automatic resolution of effective SSH settings for connections

Changed

  • Updated tree view to display nested group structures
  • Enhanced SSH connection logic to use inherited configurations
  • Improved dialogs to work with nested group paths

Technical

  • Refactored data structures to support nested groups
  • Added inheritance utility for resolving effective SSH settings
  • Updated all CRUD operations to work with group paths instead of simple indexes

[0.0.1] - 2025-09-25

Added

  • Dedicated Sidebar: Custom activity bar icon with "SSH Control" view container
  • Tree View Interface: Hierarchical display of SSH server groups and hosts
  • JSON Configuration: File-based configuration system (ssh-config.json)
  • Connection Management:
    • Double-click to connect to SSH servers
    • Connect button in inline actions
    • Opens SSH connections in new editor tabs (not terminal panel)
    • Support for multiple simultaneous sessions to the same server
  • Server Management:
    • Add/edit/delete SSH server groups
    • Add/edit/delete individual SSH servers
    • Interactive dialogs for server configuration
  • SSH Config Compliance:
    • Support for preferredAuthentication (publickey/password)
    • Group-level defaults with host-level overrides
    • Identity file support with path expansion
  • User Interface:
    • Refresh button to reload configuration
    • Open config file button for direct editing
    • Context menus for server and group actions
    • Tooltips showing connection details and authentication method
  • Fallback Logic: Host-level settings override group defaults for user, port, identity file, and authentication method

Features

  • Supported Authentication: SSH key (publickey) and password authentication
  • Configuration Flexibility: Group defaults reduce configuration duplication
  • Multiple Sessions: Each connection opens in a separate editor tab
  • Path Expansion: Automatic tilde (~) expansion for identity file paths
