brimble ssh opens an interactive terminal on a running project or a sandbox, in your own terminal.
The session streams input and output and follows your terminal size. Web-service and worker projects have a shell. Static sites, MCP servers, and databases don’t, so they can’t be targeted.

Pick a project or a sandbox

With no argument, brimble ssh shows a picker of your projects and sandboxes. Pass a name or ID to skip it:
Start in a specific directory with --cwd:

Leave the session

Press Ctrl+D, type exit, or press ~. at the start of a line. The ~ escape only applies at the start of a line, so a command like ls ~/src sends the tilde through unchanged. ~~ sends a literal ~. The session needs a real terminal. In a script or a pipe, the command exits with an error instead of running.
