For SSH, using your ssh config file[0] is probably the most idiomatic way to go about it. For web applications I tend to rely on using plain old bookmarks, using bookmark folders to keep related URLs together. It's a fairly simple system but it manages everything together where I'm most likely to use it.

+1. If you are somehow stuck on Windows, MobaXterm is quite nice for achieving a similar storage of SSH logins and password.

  Isn’t git bash and its ssh config file equivalent to that on *nix systems?

    Yeah, the git bash environment or even WSL Bash if you can get it on your machine will give you the ability to use the OpenSSH config file.

    Microsoft added a native SSH client (and server) recently. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/12/microsoft-quietly-snuck-an-ssh-client-and-server-into-the-latest-windows-10/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/12/microsoft-quietly-sn...

  Putty, Moba, etc. usually have Session dialogs to save this stuff: https://puttysm.sourceforge.io/images/psm-folders.jpg https://puttysm.sourceforge.io/images/psm-folders.jpg

  mRemoteNG is very good for many remote sessions.

    +1 for mRemoteNG (although it uses Putty for SSH), but it supports a lot more: RDP, VNC, Telnet, raw sockets.

Second this, this is also my method. Cygwin does a good job with the ssh config file on Windows, if anyone is looking for tool suggestions. This wasn't in OPs question, but have to add that if possible, put your SSH keys in the servers known_hosts file and you can have secure passwordless login, which combined with the ssh config file on your machine is fantastic. I just do "ssh $SERVER" in cygwin, where $SERVER is my defined alias pointing to an IP, and that's it. Takes literally five seconds.

I'm like you, but use pinboard for urls

Yep. ~/.ssh/config for ssh stuff, ~/home.html for web links (that file is my browser home page, it also contains a few different forms for searches on various systems, such as google, DDG, our internal ticket system, etc).

If you have the potential for tens or more unique SSH hosts (particularly if they aren't conducive to wildcards), ASSH[0] is a rather handy utility. It allows you to break up your SSH config into multiple files and use inheritance and variables in your host configs.

  What does this give you over the `include` directive?
