Description

Though there is a configured user, it would be nice to override the user on cli via the <user>@<host> approach that all ssh-like tools support

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the CLI entry point and argument parsing logic to add support for user@host syntax. Look at existing SSH configuration handling to understand how the default user is set, then implement a parser that extracts the user part from the host argument.
