The Hugging Face CLI can resolve the subdomain and open the session for you:

```shell
# SSH into the Space's Dev Mode container
hf spaces ssh username/my-space

Ah nice, TIL!


# Print the SSH command instead of running it
hf spaces ssh username/my-space --dry-run

# Use a specific identity file
hf spaces ssh username/my-space -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```

Pass `--auto` to enable Dev Mode without prompting if it isn't already running. See the [`hf spaces ssh` CLI reference](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/package_reference/cli#hf-spaces-ssh) for the full list of options.

You will need to add your machine's SSH public key to [your user account](https://huggingface.co/settings/keys) to be able to connect to the Space using SSH.
Check out the [Git over SSH](./security-git-ssh#add-a-ssh-key-to-your-account) documentation for more detailed instructions.
