Fast access to your ssh hosts

Shorts

As a developer or dev-ops you need to access many servers or hosts via ssh, usually you are doing this like the following:

ssh user@[IP/Domain] -p port -i PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY

There is a very easier way to do it like the following:

Open your ssh config file or create it if it doesn’t exist at: ~/.ssh/config
Add the following:

Host YOU_CAN_CHOOSE_ANY_NAME_YOU_WANT
        Hostname 1.1.1.1
        User root
        Port 22
        IdentityFile       ~/.ssh/private_key

You can remove IdentityFile or Port if it is not needed.
Save the file.
Now you can connect via ssh using the following command.

ssh MY_NEW_HOST_NAME
