Install: brew install xxh

About:
xxh is a command-line tool that executes local scripts in a remote environment via SSH without requiring the script to be present on the target server. It automatically detects and uses the local shell (like Zsh, Fish, or Xonsh) and its plugins on the remote connection. This provides a consistent, feature-rich terminal experience across different machines and environments.

Key Features:

Supports multiple shells including Zsh, Fish, Xonsh, and Bash
No server-side installation required
Transfers local shell configuration and plugins automatically
Extensible via plugins for additional shells and features

Use Cases:

Using a personalized, configured shell on remote servers or containers
Accessing local shell history and functions over SSH
Demonstrating shell configurations without modifying remote environments

Alternatives:

shmux – Focuses on executing commands across multiple hosts, not on shell environment portability
sshrc – Transfers local .rc files but lacks dynamic shell detection and plugin support
