This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. I frequently spend time on remote hosts via SSH, some, if not most, of which run sshd on a port other than 22. This resulted in me adding “-p 1234″ to every single ssh command I executed.

Well, no more. Today I stumbled upon SSH config. Just edit your ~/.ssh/config file and add the following to get rid of all those -p’s:

Host myserver.com
    Port 1234

Do that for all your frequently visited hosts, and you will have saved your fingers a lot of typing.
