CSSH stands for "CodeStuff Secure Shell". It is a command-line client built specifically for interacting with the Coder Copilot Cloud Shell.
CSSH lets you connect to CSSH servers available at https://codercopilot.pages.dev/dev/console/shell.
Using CSSH, you can remotely manage your account, edit API keys, execute supported shell commands, and access cloud resources directly from your terminal.
The client communicates securely with the cloud service over HTTPS and does not require opening any network ports.
CSSH is intended for developers who prefer working from the command line instead of the web interface.
Once authenticated, your session allows you to interact with your cloud workspace from any supported device.
CSSH is built using Node.js.
The following dependencies are required before using the client:
You must have Node.js and npm installed before installing CSSH.
Official npm package:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cssh-clientInstall the latest version using npm:
npm install -g cssh-client
You may also install it locally inside an existing project:
npm install cssh-client
After installation, open your preferred terminal.
Run the CSSH executable.
Authenticate using your Coder Copilot account credentials or API key when prompted.
Once connected, you can begin executing supported cloud shell commands.
CSSH requires an active internet connection while connected to the cloud service.
Some commands may require your account to have the appropriate permissions.
Future releases may introduce additional authentication methods, file transfer capabilities, and expanded shell functionality.
Always keep CSSH updated to receive new features, bug fixes, and security improvements.
