lssh v0.8.0

v0.8.0 is a larger minor release from v0.7.1, bringing together several major feature additions.
This release introduces the new TUI multiplexer lsmux and the new one-way sync command lssync. It also includes many practical improvements for day-to-day operations, such as conditional config switching, opening terminals directly from lsmon, and launching the mux UI from lssh.

Highlights

• Added lsmux

  • Introduces a tmux-like pane-based SSH client
  • Lets you view and operate on multiple hosts at the same time
  • Supports command panes, broadcast input, and pane-local file transfer
  • Reuses the existing lssh host inventory as-is

• Added lssync

  • Introduces a one-way sync command built on SSH/SFTP
  • Supports local-to-remote, remote-to-local, and remote-to-remote sync without requiring rsync on the remote side
  • Supports deleting destination-only entries with --delete

• Added conditional config overrides with match / when.*

  • You can now switch settings based on local IP, OS, terminal type, environment variables, and more
  • This makes it easier to handle things like proxy switching by network or hiding hosts depending on where you are connecting from

Improvements

• Enhanced lsmon

  • You can now open a terminal for the selected host from the top-style viewer with Ctrl + T
  • --share-connect allows terminal sessions to reuse the monitor connection

• Enhanced lssh

  • Added -P to launch the lsmux-compatible mux UI directly from lssh
  • Added support for --hold and --allow-layout-change to improve multi-host command workflows

• Enhanced lsshell

  • Added %sync, allowing one-way sync operations directly from inside the shell

• Improved transfer workflows

  • Refined path resolution and transfer handling around lscp, lsftp, and lssync

• Updated documentation and packaging

  • Reworked the README to make command roles clearer
  • Updated package layout to make installation by use case easier

Notes

• lssh, lscp, and lsftp are considered stable
• lssync, lsmon, lsshell, and lsmux are currently considered beta
• lsmux and lssync are the main additions in this release, so feedback is especially welcome
