Terminal
The local terminal
Direct version
In the direct version, SSHive also opens the shell of your Mac in a tab, next to your SSH sessions. Free, with no limit on how many.
By Lucas Russo, developer of SSHive · Updated
Opening one
- The menu File > New Local Terminal, ⌘T.
- The terminal icon of the quick actions, at the top of the sidebar.
- On the welcome screen, the Local terminal button.
- In quick connect (⌘K), the Local Terminal line.
The tab is called Local Terminal, and the status bar counts the open ones, Local:2.
What it starts
Your usual shell, the one $SHELL names, which is zsh on a recent Mac, in your home folder. TERM is xterm-256color and COLORTERM is truecolor, so a program that draws in colour has what it expects.
Like an SSH tab
The font, the size and the theme of Settings > Terminal, the search (⌘F), copy and paste, the quick commands, splitting the tab in two, and the session log Pro.
What belongs to a connection is not there: no broadcast, no SFTP panel beside the terminal, no server monitoring. For those, open the server itself.
And the App Store version?
It has no local terminal: use the Terminal application of macOS next to SSHive. Which of the two to install is answered on App Store or direct version?
Applies to SSHive 2.0.8 on Mac
