$ podman machine ssh ${name}

try on your machine

The command "podman machine ssh" is used to establish a secure shell (SSH) connection to a Podman machine. Here's a breakdown of each component:

"podman machine" is the command used to interact with Podman machines. Podman machines are lightweight virtual machines managed by Podman, which is a container engine similar to Docker.
"ssh" is the subcommand that tells Podman to establish an SSH connection to the specified Podman machine.
"${name}" is a placeholder for the name of the specific Podman machine you want to SSH into. The actual name should be provided to replace "${name}". The name is usually a user-friendly identifier given to a Podman machine during its creation.

So, when you run the "podman machine ssh ${name}" command, it will initiate an SSH connection to the specified Podman machine, allowing you to access its shell and execute commands inside it.
