shell-proxy plugin

This a pure user-space program, shell-proxy setter, written in Python3 and Zsh.

To use it, add shell-proxy to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

plugins=(... shell-proxy)

Key features

• Supports macOS and Linux (Ubuntu, Archlinux, etc.)
• Supports git via setting $GIT_SSH
• Supports ssh, sftp, scp, slogin and ssh-copy-id via setting aliases
• Built-in autocomplete

Usage

Method 1

Set SHELLPROXY_URL environment variable to the URL of the proxy server:

SHELLPROXY_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8123"
proxy enable

Method 2

Write a program file in $HOME/.config/proxy so that the proxy URL is defined dynamically. Note that the program file must be executable.

Example:

#!/bin/bash

if [[ "$(uname)" = Darwin ]]; then
  echo "http://127.0.0.1:6152" # Surge Mac
else
  echo "http://127.0.0.1:8123" # polipo
fi

Method 3

Use method 2 but define the location of the program file by setting the SHELLPROXY_CONFIG environment variable:

SHELLPROXY_CONFIG="$HOME/.dotfiles/proxy-config"
