Translate ssh-config rules and don't simply replicate

[caffeineflo]

I have a couple of ssh-config rules setup, e.g.
Host * and Host name-*
I would assume that these rules would be applied to the individual hosts they correspond to at the time of sync, yet the sync simply added a new host for each of those rules to my list of hosts when synced.

Another thing that this sync issue brought is that I now have the same pem file over 100 times added as an identity as I had a rule setup using that exact pem file for a couple of hosts ...

Hi @caffeineflo.

As far as I understand, you want to translate a ssh-config rules setup into groups and hosts in termius. It seams a great idea!

But I doubt with naming such groups. I believe, the simplest solution is to use the same name as the ssh-config rules. What do you think?

Not to hijack this or anything but I would like to bring hosts into groups as well as pre-save the identity to be used. Is there a syntax for this? Importing from Linux .ssh/config. The identity things is minor compared to importing to the proper groups (I have hundreds of sessions). Maybe something like:

Host my-host-name
 	  Hostname some-ip-address
 	  Port 22
 	  identity my-saved-identity
 	  group_name my-saved-group-name

That bugs me as well. I have already implemented grouping through comment tag in #125 and I want to implement these wildcard hosts as well. I use wildcard hosts quite extensively.

I am going to extract all wildcard host's configuration options into group options. If there is a group tag attached to this wildcard hosts, I will translate the group tag into group name which gets configuration options of this wilcard host.. Otherwise, I will try to come up with same neat naming convention derived from the wildcard name :-)
