### A shell connection hub and remote file manager
XPipe is a brand-new type of shell connection hub and remote file manager that allows you to access your entire sever infrastructure from your local machine. It works on top of your installed command-line programs that you normally use to connect and does not require any setup on your remote systems.
XPipe fully integrates with your tools such as your favourite text/code editors, terminals, shells, command-line tools and more. The platform is designed to be extensible, allowing anyone to add easily support for more tools or to implement custom functionality through a modular extension system.
The full feature set is currently supported for:
- [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) clusters, pods, and containers
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) and [LXD](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/introduction/) container instances located on any host
- [SSH](https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/protocol) connections
- [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://ubuntu.com/wsl) instances
- [Powershell Remote Sessions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/running-remote-commands?view=powershell-7.3)
- Any other custom remote connection methods that work through the command-line
Furthermore, you can also use any remote shell connection as a proxy when establishing new connections, allowing full flexibility to set up connection routes.
The project is still in a relatively early stage and will benefit massively from your feedback, issue reports, feature request, and more. There are also a lot more features to come in the future.

## Connection Hub
