For reusing arguments and simplifying xxh usage (like shortening to `xxh anyhost`) there is a [config file](https://github.com/xxh/xxh/wiki#config-file).
**Why the plus sign for the xxh arguments?** The xxh is using the plus sign for the xxh arguments to save the ability to use the minus sign for the original ssh arguments. This allows just replace the first two letters in the `ssh` command to convert it to the `xxh` command. Also see the [discussion](https://github.com/xxh/xxh/issues/129).

# Plugin Development using Vagrant
[Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com) from HashiCorp creates virtual environments that can easily allow unique testing destinations for your plugin development.
To develop using `Vagrant`, copy this folder to a new location and change the `config.vm.box` to the [a supported VN](https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search) that you would like to target.
## Functionality
You can start the VM using the following `Vagrantfile`:
```Vagrantfile
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/jammy64"
end
```
Start the environment using:
```sh
vagrant up
```
A typical development folder might look like this:
```
-rwxrwxr-x 1 mcrowe mcrowe 940 Feb 13 11:32 start.sh*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mcrowe mcrowe 3020 Feb 13 08:05 Vagrantfile
drwxrwxr-x 4 mcrowe mcrowe 4096 Feb 13 10:08 xxh-plugin-bash-bashit/
drwxrwxr-x 4 mcrowe mcrowe 4096 Feb 13 08:56 xxh-plugin-prerun-dotbare/
```
The `start.sh` script starts an `xxh` session to the VM and maps in any `xxh-` folders in the session. For example:
To reset everything and start again:
```sh
vagrant destroy && vagrant up
```
