About SSH Config Files

The SSH config file (~/.ssh/config) lets you define per-host connection settings, saving you from typing long SSH commands. Instead of ssh -i ~/.ssh/key.pem -p 2222 user@192.168.1.100, just type ssh prod-server.

Common Options

Host — alias used in ssh <alias>
HostName — actual IP address or domain
User — SSH username
Port — SSH port (default: 22)
IdentityFile — path to the private key
ProxyJump — bastion/jump host for tunneling
ForwardAgent — forward SSH agent to remote host
ServerAliveInterval — keepalive interval to prevent timeouts

Usage

Copy the generated config and save it to ~/.ssh/config. Set permissions with chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config.
