Make your ssh connection easier

Today I want to share simple advice with you. For few weeks I have to make a ssh connection to my server with some parameters.
It' pretty strange to write this command every day:
ssh user1@server.com -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -p 58694
Now you have few ways how to simplify this routine. Either you can create alias - by the alias command, or permanently in .bashrc file or the better way, use the ssh config file:
Create new file ~/.ssh/config and inside it something like this pattern:
Host shortservername
Hostname serveraddress.com
User loginusername
Port portnumber
other parameters
When we use the one-line ssh command, the config file is going to look like this:
Host myserver
Hostname server.com
User user1
Port 58694
PubkeyAuthentication No
And when I want to make connectionm just use this command:
ssh myserver
I hope this will help:)
