Would be really awesome to have one-click ssh access to the site wp cli.

Support this 100%! I really like the way this works on some other local dev platforms.

@danemorgan We don’t have a public roadmap but we’re definitely considering this feature!

I just wanted to chime in and mention that you can setup a wp-cli alias to get a sort of similar experience:

```auto
$ wp cli alias add dev --ssh="docker:www-data@devkinsta_fpm/www/kinsta/public/{YOUR_SITE_NAME}"

```

With this you you can run wp cli scripts from your local environment against the docker container:

```auto
$ wp @dev plugin list

```

You can read more about adding aliases here: [wp cli alias add | WP-CLI Command | WordPress Developer Resources](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/cli/alias/add/)

@michael maybe this can be part of the documentation as well? It is, in my opinion, a better approach than what e.g. Local uses where they use my local shell and tries to override `$PATH`, that collide with my own setup.
