Bernstein. I would really like to extend the existing "generate ssh key" manual/documentation site with: ```bash ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "name@domain.com" -f gitlab ``` In [this](https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html) article about "securing the secure shell" I adopted one possible config entry for the ssh `config` (normally located in `~/.ssh/config`): ``` Host gitlab.com HostName 104.210.2.228 AddressFamily inet KexAlgorithms curve25519-sha256@libssh.org HostKeyAlgorithms ssh-ed25519 Ciphers chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab User git ``` This example is based on the gitlab.com credentials. So do you think it is worth to have these kind of suggestions shown on the offical `help/ssh/README` guide?
