Another trick I use is to put all of my stuff into .ssh/config.d/ and then run `ssh-compile` and it generates .ssh/config for me. This lets me pull in new config files and hosts without having to redo everything every time.

Or you can add this to the top of your ssh config file: `Include ~/.ssh/config.d/*`

  Bonus points if you put the config.d dir in a Syncthing folder and synchronize it to all your workstations.

  Oh that’s nice.

  Does this honor the rc.d prefixes? Eg 0- files go first and then alphabetical? Edit to say that my compile function does a syntax check too… but this is easier than setting up the dir listener.

    I dunno, I think it does “glob-order” which should be alphabetical adjacent.

Redo everything? Redo what? I just add a new entry to the bottom, `nvim ~/.ssh/config` -- what is better about your approach / what am I missing out on? (Have never heard of ssh-compile, will also look it up when not on mobile.)

  ssh-compile is my script... It's basically this: #!/bin/sh SSH_DIR="/Users/nvahalik/.ssh/config.d/" echo "" > ~/.ssh/config for i in `ls "${SSH_DIR}"`; do echo "# ${SSH_DIR}${i}" >> ~/.ssh/config cat "${SSH_DIR}${i}" >> ~/.ssh/config echo "\n" >> ~/.ssh/config done; chmod 644 ~/.ssh/config

What I do for my homelab vms and such: # If ~/.ssh/config does not exist, copy file if [ ! -f ~/.ssh/config ]; then cp ./.ssh/config ~/.ssh/config else # For each block in ./.ssh/config, if it is not in ~/.ssh/config, add it while read -r line; do if [[ "$line" == "" ]]; then if grep -q "$block" ~/.ssh/config; then # If block is not found, add it to ~/.ssh/config echo "$block" >> ~/.ssh/config fi else if [[ -z "$block" ]]; then block="$line" else block="$block$line\n" fi fi done < ./.ssh/config fi

  OpenSSH now has an Include directive.
