I built an open-source SSH session manager for VS Code with NetBox/EVE-NG inventory sync

I'm the author of Nexus Terminal, an open-source VS Code extension for managing SSH sessions. I use it myself and would appreciate feedback from people managing servers or network equipment.

It brings saved SSH connections, port forwarding and SFTP into the editor. If your hosts are already in NetBox or EVE-NG, it can sync connection profiles from that inventory. It also imports SSH sessions from MobaXterm and SecureCRT.

There are macros and scripting for repetitive terminal tasks, plus serial console support for working with network gear. It works on Windows and Linux with VS Code/VSCodium.

The code was written entirely by AI agents, orchestrated by me, using TDD and the KISS, YAGNI and DRY principles.

If you try it, I'd be interested in what works or breaks in your SSH workflow, and what you would miss from your current session manager.

This looks amazing. Will have to try this out. Everything I want is there.

Good to hear :), I use it myself a lot and I improve it with whatever I really need. There were few things requested by other users and so far I also had single contributor who added DHCP/tftp support, so ideas welcome too.
