How about parsing /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/?

[Alain Wolf]

Would be nice if files found in /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*.conf and possibly ~/.ssh/ssh_config.d/*.confwould also be parsed.

If you have a lot of hosts with custom SSH ports and also multiple clients to setup, its easier to just drop a separate file in one of the include directory.

Include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*.conf is set by default in /etc/ssh/ssh_config in Debian based distributions, like Ubuntu and probably others.

Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll look into adding that feature.

I thought about opening a similiar issue. But I do think its better placed here.

I organized some remote hosts in subfolders.
Like so

• ~/.ssh/foo/config
• ~/.ssh/foo/key
• ~./.ssh/foo/key.pub

Where my main ~/.ssh/config has Includes for these configs.

It's a less automatic approach compared to @alainwolf but also helps to organize.
Having the extensions look for and "parse" these Includes would be very convenient.

Thanks for your work on this extension.
