Scotty: A beautiful SSH task runner (freek.dev)
Scotty is a new open-source SSH task runner from Spatie that lets developers define remote deploy scripts and other tasks in a local file, run them from the terminal, and see each step in real time with helpful timing and failure output. It supports both Laravel Envoy’s Blade-based format and a new plain-bash Scotty.sh format, along with features like pause/resume, “pretend” dry runs, and a doctor command to validate SSH connectivity and required tools. Existing Envoy scripts can be run directly with Scotty while teams optionally migrate to the bash format over time.
