The Location of the SSH Client Config File

The client-side configuration file is located at ~/.ssh/config – the ~ is a universal shortcut to your home directory. Often, this file is not created by default, so you may need to create it yourself. The touch command will create it if it does not exist (and update the last modified timestamp if it does).

bash
touch ~/.ssh/config
