thanks for the tips!

megavolcanoon How to SSH Properly

you can also specify which private key to present using

IdentifyFile /path/to/key/file

when I have different hosts that require different keys to access, this is very useful so I don't have to specify them every time

and agent forwarding is useful as well, for example, I can push to github from a vm using my laptop ssh key and I don't have to generate an additional key for the vm

ForwardAgent true

with the new Windows terminal, I setup different tabs to be SSH to different machines based on my .ssh/config file

{ "guid": "{1c9b268e-7606-4a07-b097-d8bc62fb5207}", "hidden": false, "name": "ubuntu.localdomain", "commandline": "ssh.exe me@ubuntu", "colorScheme": "Elementary" }, { "guid": "{b7161acc-8235-4283-9a85-e93df3d09125}", "hidden": false, "name": "db.localdomain", "commandline": "ssh.exe me@db", "colorScheme": "Ubuntu" },

Windows Terminal with a very nicely define ssh config is a killer combo.

megavolcanoon Negative Feedback Is Positive

Now someone please explain to my boss that "you don't listen" and "can you just do your job properly", when he doesn't lay out the correct requirements and expect us to read his mind is not proper "negative feedback".
