Documentation

Documentation is available at https://squidjs.github.io/docs;

Extending

The config file is located in your user's home directory, and called .squidrc.json. Squid is higly customizable thanks to a powerful packages system. With packages, you can easily share and add custom themes and packages to add new features.

See the documentation for more information.

Cloud

You can save SSH Hosts in a remote server, to make them available on all the computers you use. They are then linked to your account on this server. The server is called Squid Cloud.

You can choose to use our server (this is the default configuration), or you can self-host it.

See the documentation for more information.

CLI

Squid ships with an easy-to-use CLI, used to start the app from any terminal and manage packages easily. Run squid --help for a list of available commands.

See the documentation for more information.
