Quick start

1. Install OxideTerm. Grab a package from the latest release; platform notes are in Install below.
2. Add a server. Open the Session Manager and create an SSH connection, or import hosts from your ~/.ssh/config.
3. Connect. Open a terminal. Host keys are checked against ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
4. Use the rest of the workspace. Open SFTP, port forwarding, or the built-in editor on the same node. By default they share one SSH connection.
5. Optional: turn on AI. In Settings, add your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, or OpenAI-compatible endpoint to enable OxideSens.

For a guided tour, see the documentation.
