# SSH Host adder
This is a fairly simple script which adds hosts to an ssh config file.
SSH allows you to add hosts to a config file, so you don't have to remember ip addresses or hostnames. So if you add:
```
HOST test
HostName 192.168.80.1
User root
Port 22
```
to `~/.ssh/config`, you can just do `ssh test` instead of writing the address / user / port.
But when you constantly get new servers to ssh to, it's helpful to have a script!
## Usage:
```
./ssh_adder my_host 192.168.80.1 [--user myuser] [--port 2200]
```
`--user` and `--port` are optional and default to `root` and `22` respectively.
If you aren't using the default ssh config path, there is an argument for that as well:
```
./ssh_adder my_host 192.168.80.1 --conf /path/to/config
```
`-conf` defaults to `~/.ssh/config`
SSH configs allow you to make more complex operations, like adding different keys and whatnot, which I don't support here mostly because I haven't had a need to yet. If I get to updating my script some time, I'll update it here too.
