Troubleshooting

[...]/.ssh/config: no such file or directory

• Check if you have ~/.ssh/config file
• If you don't, create it with touch ~/.ssh/config

If you want to use another SSH config file, you can use the --config option.

Here's a sample ~/.ssh/config file:

Host *
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  UseKeychain yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Host "My server"
  HostName server1.example.com
  User root
  Port 22

Host "Go through Proxy"
  HostName server2.example.com
  User someone
  Port 22
  ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p proxy.example.com

You can check the OpenBSD ssh_config reference for more information on how to setup ~/.ssh/config.
