> **How this works:** When you SSH into a remote machine, the connection stays open in the background for 10 minutes (`ControlPersist 600`). During that time, any other SSH command to the same host — including ones I run — reuses your authenticated tunnel. No password prompt, no key tap. Just open an SSH session to your target machine before asking me to work on it. > **How this works:** When you SSH into a remote machine, the connection stays open in the background for 10 minutes (`ControlPersist yes`).

If the user's `~/.ssh/config` already has Host-specific blocks, add the ControlMaster settings under a `Host *` block at the **end** of the file so it acts as a default without overriding specific host configs.
