Skipper is a CLI tool that transforms SSH connection management into a fast, interactive experience. Read your ~/.ssh/config once, then browse, search, and connect to any host without memorizing aliases — fuzzy-search narrows down the list in real time, and one keystroke drops you into a session. Skipper eliminates SSH friction: no more digging through notes or config files, no more typos in rarely-used host aliases. It makes remote access as natural as browsing a file picker.
