auberge select host

Interactively select a host and print its name to stdout. Alias: auberge se h.

auberge select host [OPTIONS]

Every command taking --host opens this same picker when the flag is omitted, so wrapping a single one in $(...) buys nothing. Reach for it to pick once and reuse the name — across several commands, or in a tool outside auberge.

The picker draws on stderr, so it stays visible when stdout is captured or piped.

Options

Option	Description	Default
-g, --group GROUP	Filter hosts by group tag	All hosts

Examples

Pick once, reuse — one prompt instead of one per command:

HOST=$(auberge select host)
auberge deploy -H "$HOST" paperless
auberge sync hermes -H "$HOST"

Feed a tool that isn’t auberge:

ansible-playbook -l "$(auberge select host --group hermes)" site.yml

Exit 0 on selection, 1 on cancel (Esc) or error.
