I’ve been working on a project that I need constant access (and executing commands) among at least 3 hosts in work. I’ve been using SSH’s Host function to manage which host I’m connecting to. However, I find it increasingly annoying that I can’t see which host I’m connected to via the tab on my terminal emulator (I’m using Windows Terminal on Windows and Konsole on Linux).
Is there a good SSH GUI client that can show which host a session is connected to? I’ve tried Termius. But $10 per month is too expensive to me for what I’m doing (and I don’t need most of the paid feature).
We make the prompt be user@hostname so no matter what you use it shows what host you’re on. This is configurable in .bashrc iirc.
I might also recommend tmux, there’s a script you can use to also set prompt in the window view. Though this is best used as a jumpserver setup.
