vagrant: Output the SSH configuration file of the running Vagrant machine.

vagrant

$ vagrant ssh-config

try on your machine

The command "vagrant ssh-config" is a Vagrant command that prints the SSH configuration for the currently running Vagrant virtual machine (VM).

When a Vagrant VM is created, it generates an SSH configuration that allows you to SSH into the VM using the "vagrant ssh" command. The "vagrant ssh-config" command displays this generated SSH configuration.

The output of the command typically includes information such as the host name, port, username, and private key file location. These details are important if you want to manually SSH into the VM using a different SSH client outside of Vagrant.

Here's an example of the output:

Host default
  HostName 127.0.0.1
  User vagrant
  Port 2222
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  PasswordAuthentication no
  IdentityFile "/path/to/vagrant/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key"
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  LogLevel FATAL

You can use this output to configure an SSH client, like OpenSSH or PuTTY, to connect to the Vagrant VM directly. This can be useful for debugging or running remote commands on the VM outside of the Vagrant environment.
