SSH Config - Open HostNames in a Browser window

ssh-open

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# About:
#
# If you use ~/.ssh/config often enough that you cannot remember the URLs
# anymore, but you do know the SSH Host names you gave each SSH entry,
# then this might be helpful. This script will find the Host and open
# the HostName up in a new browser window, using your default browser.
#
# Installation:
#
# 1. Place this file in ~/bin/
# 2. chmod +x ~/bin/ssh-open
# 3. Make sure ~/bin is in your PATH
#
# Usage:
#
# If you have an SSH config host, named apple, then you can do:
#
#   ssh-open apple
#
# This will find the URL inside your ~/.ssh/config and open it within your default
# browser.
#
# Gotchas:
#
# 1. Does not handle HTTPS.
# 2. Currently, this does only EXACT matches.
# 3. Test on OSX only, so probably only works on OSX.
# 4. This is a first pass, so it's pretty rough coding.
