Onboarding new hires
Export your team's blessed snippet library, share the JSON, every new hire imports it. Common ops (deploy, restart, status) become discoverable through the search instead of tribal knowledge.

Quick Commands
Library of reusable commands with 14 presets for system, network, disk, Docker, and Git operations. Create your own custom snippets.
Every sysadmin has a `~/scripts/` folder full of one-liners they wrote 4 years ago and now copy-paste into every terminal. Quick Commands (snippets) in SSHive give those one-liners a permanent home with a searchable UI. Out of the box, SSHive ships with 14 presets covering system inspection (`uname -a`, `top -b -n 1 | head -20`), network (`ss -tulpn`, `dig +short`), disk (`df -h`, `du -sh /var/log/*`), Docker (`docker ps -a`, `docker logs --tail 100 -f`), and Git (`git log --oneline -20`, `git status -sb`).
You create your own snippets, organize them in folders, search by name or tag. One click inserts the snippet into the active terminal — or, with broadcast on, into all of them. Snippets support placeholders like `{{port}}` or `{{path}}` that prompt for values before insertion, so a generic "tail this log" snippet works on any path. Your snippet library is portable: export to a JSON file, import on another Mac.

Snippet workflows
Quick log triage
Snippets like "last 50 nginx errors", "auth failures today", "slow queries" — one click each. Combine with broadcast for fleet-wide log analysis.
Standardize incident response
Build a "first 60 seconds" snippet: load avg, disk space, top processes, recent error logs. Run it the moment a server alerts. Consistent triage data, every time.
Snippets — frequently asked questions
Can snippets contain multi-line commands?+
Yes. Multi-line snippets paste as-is into the terminal. For very long scripts, consider committing them to a Git repo on your servers and using a snippet to invoke them — keeps the snippet library lean.
Can I share snippets between Macs?+
Yes via export/import. SSHive ships an encrypted `.webssh` export with passphrase that can include your snippet library; you can also store the snippets file in iCloud Drive or Dropbox and symlink it into SSHive's data directory.
Are snippets free?+
Yes — Quick Commands are included in the free tier with the 14 presets. Custom snippet creation works in free too. No artificial limits.
Can I share a snippet with a teammate via a link?+
Right-click any snippet, "Copy as URI" — generates `sshive://snippet?...` that another SSHive install on macOS opens with a confirm dialog. Useful for one-off shares without exporting the whole library.
