Configure SSH to Use Keyfiles Automatically
If you have multiple SSH-keys, perhaps a different one to each server, this can make your life a lot easier. Less typing is better.
Or perhaps you are configuring a remote git repository, or access through some other software.
Go ahead and
nano ~/.ssh/config
And add
Host example.com
IdentityFile ~.ssh/yourkey
Change the domain and filename of your key to the proper values.
