pod-ssh is a command-line utility for connecting to Kubernetes pods.

sudo curl -sSL \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eznix86/pod-ssh/main/pod-ssh \
  -o /usr/local/bin/pod-ssh && \
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pod-ssh

Ensure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH.

Note: You can keep it as pod-ssh but it may also rename the script to any name you like, for example to kssh or pssh

The script will install these automatically if missing:

• gum – for interactive prompts and formatting
• kubectl – to interact with Kubernetes pods

Supported platforms:

pod-ssh [COMMAND | POD@NAMESPACE]

You can skip the interactive selection if you know the pod and namespace:

pod-ssh mypod@namespace

The script will:

• Automatic ssh when matching the pod name or offer fuzzy matches interactively.
  • pod-ssh telemetry-app@telemetry-system -> pod-ssh telemetry-app-d4fd85895-r27tg@telemetry-system

pod-ssh maintains simple text files in your home directory:

These files enable the history and last commands for fast reconnection.

Interactive pod selection:

pod-ssh

Reconnect to the last used pod:

pod-ssh last

Reconnect to the third most recent pod:

pod-ssh last~3

Clear your history:

pod-ssh clear-history

Show available commands:

pod-ssh help
