Can you expand with more technical explanation how are those two points implemented:

- You can bring your shell environments / init scripts / aliases with you in a noninvasive way. I.e. you don't have to modify the remote system dotfiles, when you connect through xpipe it will set up any scripts you want to have available automatically

- You can link up your password manager with your SSH client and other connection methods that require passwords

Feel free to write here or refer to any url you recommend.

Thank you, and good luck with your product!

- When XPipe will open a terminal connection and you have specified custom shell environments / init scripts for a certain system, it will first automatically create a temporary init script on the target system in the background, which will be run as the login script only for that terminal launch from XPipe. That way it's noninvasive and doesn't change any existing configuration on the system

- XPipe acts as an askpass program for SSH, meaning that it can listen to any password requests made from the ssh client, forward that your password manager, and reply with the password that the password manager returned. If you password manager supports the SSH-agent, XPipe can also use it to supply keys for ssh as well.
