Connections are managed by editing the ~/.kps.json file.

It contains an array of connections:

{
  "connections": [
    {
      "name": "local-dev",
      "user": "developer",
      "host": "127.0.0.1",
      "port": 22,
      "privateKey": "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
    },
    {
      "name": "staging-app",
      "user": "staging",
      "host": "staging.example.com",
      "port": 22,
      "password": "12~am_GHDw$"
    }
  ]
