Tutorial

Use sshChat as a fast command chat.

This guide is the real day-one flow: type, watch command suggestions filter live, pick one if it helps, and send it without overthinking terminal UX.

Step 1 of 4Waiting for confirmation

Step 1: Type directly into the composer

sshChat App
Where this happens

Inside the chat composer at the bottom of sshChat.

Type this here
ls
docker
pwd
What changes live

As you type, the quick command row filters to matching command titles or prefixes. Typing docker narrows the row to Docker-related commands.

Step 2: Use suggestions only when they help

Where this happens

Still in sshChat above the keyboard.

What to do

Tap a command chip if you want the full saved command quickly. If not, just keep typing manually.

What you should see

When you tap a saved command, sshChat shows the command title above the keyboard so you can confirm intent before sending.

Step 3: Send the command in normal mode

Where this happens

You tap send in sshChat. The command executes on the remote server.

Good first commands
pwd
whoami
df -h
Why normal mode first

Most short commands should finish quickly and keep the chat readable. Use Stream Mode only for commands that really keep producing output.

Step 4: Read the result like a timeline

sshChat App
What you see

sshChat shows the command bubble, the returned output, and status information like success, error, timing, and path.

Useful habit

Think of the chat as a timeline of server actions. Keep short checks in normal mode and reserve Stream Mode for long work.

Next step

If you run installs, builds, or long Docker commands, open the Stream Mode guide next.
