SSH Local Config setup

Tips/tricks for local SSH config

Including config

Let’s assume that we wish to split one big ~/.ssh/config to multiple files, split the existing config file and include it with Include keyword.

# include ~/.ssh/first-include
Include first-include

# include ~/.ssh/second-include
Include second-include

Define host within config

Host dev
    HostName 1.2.3.4
    User ubuntu
    Port 2233
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/some-key
