4. File storage structure
Currently you can only store your hosts in a yaml file, which is called hosts.yaml
. The file is located in your user config folder which exact path depends on a running platform:
- on Linux, it's in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/goto
or$HOME/.config/goto
; - on Mac, it's in
$HOME/Library/Application Support/goto
; - on Windows, it's in
%AppData%\goto
.
Usually you don't need to edit this file manually, but sometimes it's much more convenient to edit it into your favorite text editor, than using goto
utility. The file structure is very simple and self-explanatory:
- host:
title: kernel.org
description: Server 1
address: 127.0.0.1
- host:
title: microsoft.com
description: Server 2
address: 127.0.0.1
network_port: 22

identity_file_path: /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa_microsoft
