Tips and Tricks SSH Tuning Add these lines to your ~/.ssh/config : Host gerrit.lix.systems User YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME Port 2022 # Keep sessions open for a bit in the background to make connections faster: ControlMaster auto ControlPath /tmp/ssh-%r@%h:%p ControlPersist 120 Now you can use ssh://gerrit.lix.systems/lix instead of ssh://USERNAME@gerrit.lix.systems:2022/lix URL, and have faster iterations on a change!
