Templates

A template is a command or a script you run on any machine from the workspace sidebar. Templates in the header manages them.

A template

Field
Name	Shown in the list and the sidebar
Type	Command: one line, typed into the terminal. Script: a multi-line file, written to a temp file on the machine and executed
Content	The command or script. Write {{name}} wherever a value should be asked for
Tags	Comma-separated: letters, digits, - and _. The workspace sidebar filters by them
Note	What it does; shown in the list
Visibility	Private (only you) or Shared (every admin)
Requires sudo	The Root column, and a lock on the template’s card in the workspace. Asks for the machine’s sudo password before running

Only the author can edit or delete a template; other admins see a shared one without the edit and delete buttons.

Parameters

A {{name}} in the content — lowercase letters, digits and _ — is asked for before Run, Insert or Report.

Values are inserted exactly as typed, not shell-quoted — quote them in the template if needed. The last values are remembered per machine in your browser, in plain text, so keep passwords out of parameters. A template whose command uses {{path}} can be run on an open file from the editor’s Run a check… — there the path is inserted shell-quoted.

Export and import

Export downloads every template you can see as woho-templates.json. Import adds the templates of such a file and skips names you already have. A starter pack of diagnostics — service log and status, failed units, disk, listening ports, kernel messages, time sync, memory, addresses — is at starter-templates.json.

In the workspace

The sidebar’s Templates section lists yours and the shared ones. The chips above it filter by tag, the box searches; Alt+F focuses it, Alt+N creates a new template, + too.

Click a card:

Action	Does
Run	Clears the prompt of the open terminal, types the command, presses Enter. With no terminal open, opens one first
Insert	Types it without Enter, for you to read before running
Copy	To the clipboard, as written
Report	Runs it in the background and opens a Report tab with the output, exit status and time. Download it, Save it as a note on the machine, or Copy it
Run in new terminal	Always a fresh terminal tab

A template that requires sudo asks for the password in a dialog; the password is sent to the machine for that run and not stored. Runs are in History with secrets redacted.
