- Prefer minimal, focused changes that do not alter the intent of the existing scripts, unless the script behavior is intentionally updated.
- Maintain `.continue/rules/project.md` whenever project conventions or script behavior change.
- `sshrm` is implemented as a small Bash script with helper functions, while preserving host and line-number removal behavior.
- `sshrm` should print a short usage line, support `-h`/`--help`, fail clearly on missing or invalid line-number input, reject extra arguments, and may support a dedicated `--no-backup` option with a `known_hosts.sshrm.bak` backup file.
- `sshrm` should print a short usage line, support `-h`/`--help`, fail clearly on missing or invalid line-number input, reject extra arguments, may support a dedicated `--no-backup` option with a `known_hosts.sshrm.bak` backup file, and now asks for confirmation before removal.

# sshrm
#!/bin/bash
Remove an entry from `~/.ssh/known_hosts` by host name or by line number.
set -euo pipefail
## Usage
readonly FILENAME="${HOME}/.ssh/known_hosts"
readonly BACKUP_FILE="${FILENAME}.sshrm.bak"
```bash
sshrm [OPTION]... HOST|LINE
```
check_known_hosts() {
if [ ! -f "${FILENAME}" ]; then
error "known_hosts not found."
exit 1
fi
}
## Options
usage() {
echo "Usage: sshrm [-h|--help] [--no-backup] host|line_number"
}
- `-h`, `--help` Show help and exit.
confirm() {
read -r -p "Proceed? [y/N] " answer
case "$answer" in
y|Y|yes|YES)
return 0
;;
*)
error "cancelled."
return 1
;;
esac
}
## Examples
error() {
echo "Error: $1"
}
Remove by host:
is_number() {
case "$1" in
''|*[!0-9]*) return 1 ;;
*) return 0 ;;
esac
}
```bash
sshrm example.com
```
get_host_from_line() {
awk -v line="$1" 'NR == line {print $1; exit}' "${FILENAME}"
}
Remove by line number:
create_backup() {
cp "${FILENAME}" "${BACKUP_FILE}"
}
```bash
sshrm 12
```
remove_host() {
ssh-keygen -R "$1"
}
## Notes
if [ "${1-}" = "" ]; then
error "missing argument."
usage
exit 1
fi
- Line numbers must be positive integers.
- Extra arguments are rejected.
- The script edits `~/.ssh/known_hosts`.
- Keep a backup if you need to recover entries.
