  1. From your local terminal, run b2v ssh <host>.
  2. Finish SSH auth as usual.
  3. Work in the remote shell that b2v ssh opens for you.
  4. Open back2vibing if you want to confirm completions are making it back locally.
  5. Optionally save the same host in the SSH Remote tab for status, setup reruns, or SSH config helpers.

b2v ssh <host> is the default path now. It reuses a local SSH control master, refreshes remote setup when needed, and opens your remote shell immediately.

Use the SSH Remote tab when you want a saved host inside the app.

  1. Open SSH Remote.
  2. Add your host (user@host).
  3. Turn on the saved connection.
  4. Complete SSH auth in the Terminal window that opens.
  5. Return to back2vibing and use Run Setup or the SSH config helper if needed.

The Terminal window from the UI flow is just the auth handoff for the saved app-managed connection. Its output is not the same shell/log stream you see from b2v ssh <host>.

If you specifically want tmux-based remote monitoring, you can still use b2v ssh-watch <host>.

  • Accept host keys in a normal SSH session before running setup.
  • Save the host in SSH Remote if you want a visible saved entry in the app.
  • Keep tmux active when using b2v ssh-watch <host>.
  • Keep network stable while setup scripts are being installed.
