My ssh/.config file
So, I have been having to look this up almost every time I need to update ssh stuff on new machines that I’m just going to put it here now.
Host gprasanna User xxx HostName gprasanna.com.np Host mycomputer.cs.trincoll.edu User test Port 30045 Host ubuntunp User xxx HostName ubuntu.org.np Host *.cs.trincoll.edu ForwardX11 yes Host * Compression yes CompressionLevel 9 FallBackToRsh yes KeepAlive no
What this file lets you do is, remember just the aliases and not be bothered by the low level details like what weird port number is open for ssh.

For most dot-config-files that I frequently use I have a repository on github so that way I can always clone them on a new system and get my work environment replicated with a simple git clone
That’s a flippin’ great idea.
Himanshu- the trouble is though, you’d need git installed on every machine. ki kaso?
Pras- new look for the site eh?
Dude, I’ve had this look since forever.. you just don’t visit frequently enough.
