how did i never know about .ssh/config?

Posted on 13 April 201613 April 2016 By antipaucity No Comments on how did i never know about .ssh/config?

I’m sure folks have tried to explain this to me before, but it wasn’t until today that it finally clicked – using .ssh/config will save you a world of hurt when managing various systems from a Linux host (I imagine it works on other platforms, too – but I’ve only started using it on CentOS)….
