Nice job, for me it can't beat a ~/.ssh/config entry though. I wonder why it's not reading ~/.ssh/config btw, should be doable.

"... it makes it easy to generate a dynamic list of hosts from your hosting provider (if they have an API), so you're always up-to-date."

It should at least provide a mapping from the json to ~/.ssh/config formats.

For me you can't beat the combination of Alfred [0] and the SSH workflow [1]. [0] http://alfredapp.com [1] https://github.com/isometry/alfredworkflows/tree/master/net....

Or (in Alfred) just type:

>ssh [host]

If you keep your ~/.ssh/config up to date and can remember your host names, I find it quicker to do that than bothering with the workflow.

They said the purpose of using a .json file was so that your configuration could be synced by dropbox or some other cloud service. I would NOT put my .ssh with all my private keys on dropbox.
