did you know that `~/.ssh/config` aliases work for git remotes??
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~/.ssh/config
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Host gh
|
||
|
|
HostName github.com
|
||
|
|
User git
|
||
|
|
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gh_key
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
you can now use `gh:username/repo` as the remote in place of
|
||
|
|
`git@github.com:username/repo`, which is much shorter and easier to type
|
||
|
|
many times!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`git clone gh:benharri/learngit`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
there are many other use cases for the `ssh_config` file. for example,
|
||
|
|
here is my config for the tilde machine for easy ssh connections.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Host tilde
|
||
|
|
HostName tilde.team
|
||
|
|
User ben
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
then use `ssh tilde` to start a new ssh session. this also works with
|
||
|
|
`scp`: try something like this `scp file.txt tilde:workspace/.` in place
|
||
|
|
of `scp file.txt ben@tilde.team:workspace/.`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the ssh\_config file is super useful. check `man ssh_config` for a full
|
||
|
|
list of options!
