A snippet is a saved command or script. Run it in the focused session from the snippet palette, or run it automatically when you connect to a host. Use snippets for deploys, service restarts, status checks, or anything you type more than once. Open Snippets under Tools in the sidebar.

​
Create a snippet

1

Open New snippet

Click New snippet in the Snippets header.
2

Enter the command

Type or paste the Command, e.g. sudo systemctl restart nginx. Multi-line commands are supported and are sent exactly as typed. Click Next.
3

Add the details

Enter a Label (e.g. Restart nginx), an optional Description, and up to 5 Tags (press Enter after each). Turn on Share publicly to list it in the Marketplace.
4

Save

Click Save snippet.
Free accounts are limited to 10 snippets. Forking a Marketplace snippet counts toward this limit. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited snippets.

​
Run a snippet

1

Open the snippet palette

In a session, press ⌘⇧K (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+K (Windows and Linux), or click Run a snippet in the session header.
2

Pick a snippet

Type to search by label, command, or description. Press Enter or click the snippet.
3

Confirm

Termique shows the full command. Click Run on <host> to send it to the focused pane, followed by Enter.
The palette runs a snippet only in the focused pane, and only while that session is connected. Without one, the palette copies the command to your clipboard instead. Press ⌘C or Ctrl+C in the palette to copy the highlighted snippet without running it.

​
Run a snippet on connect

On a host’s detail page, choose a snippet under Startup snippet. Termique runs it as soon as a session to that host connects. See Startup snippet.

​
Manage your snippets

My snippets lists your snippets with their command, tags, scope (Public or Private), and when they were last updated.
  • Type in Filter snippets to search labels, commands, descriptions, and tags.
  • Click Display to show All, Public, or Private snippets, and to order by Recently updated or Name.
  • Hover a row and click Copy command to copy it.
  • Double-click a row, or press Enter on it, to edit it. You can also open More actions (…) and select Edit.
  • To delete a snippet, open More actions and select Delete, then confirm.

​
Marketplace

The Marketplace tab lists public snippets from all Termique users.
  • Type in Search public snippets to search.
  • Use Sort to order by Most forked, Newest, or Best match.
  • Use Tag to filter by one or more tags.
Click a snippet, or its Fork button, to review it. The panel shows the author, fork count, description, tags, and the full command. Invisible characters, such as zero-width or text-direction characters, are shown as markers like ⟨U+202E⟩ so the command you read is the command that runs. Click Fork to my snippets to save a private copy you can edit and run. Click Report snippet to flag it as Destructive, Malicious, Spam, or Other.
Read a community command in full before you run it, especially on a production host. If you attach a forked snippet as a host’s startup snippet, Termique asks you to confirm because it will run unattended on every connect.

​
Publish a snippet

Turn on Share publicly when you create or edit a snippet. Anyone can then find and fork it. Do not publish a snippet that contains a hostname, credential, or other sensitive value. A public snippet that receives reports can be hidden or removed from the Marketplace. It then shows a hidden or removed badge in My snippets. You can still use it yourself.

​
Sync

Snippets sync through the API to your other devices. They are not end-to-end encrypted. Do not store credentials or sensitive values in snippet commands.
