# knife_ssh plugin This plugin adds a `knife_ssh` function as well as completion for it, to allow connecting via ssh to servers managed with [Chef](https://www.chef.io/). To use it, add `knife_ssh` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: ```zsh plugins=(... knife_ssh) ``` The plugin creates a cache of the Chef node list via `knife`, and stores it in `$HOME/.knife_comp~`, when first triggering knife_ssh completion. **Requirements:** `knife` has to be installed.
