	# Installation steps;

	# Example ssh config file. Usually located in ~/.ssh/config (user) or /etc/ssh/ssh_config (system)
	# This works on both linux and MacOS

	# Basic ssh commands converted to ssh/config file format



	# Simplest format
	# Run with: "ssh blog" => (equivalent to: "ssh [email protected]" and "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -p 22 [email protected]")
	Host blog

	# import config.
	# You can change the default config with `make cnf="config_special.env" build`
	cnf ?= config.env
	include $(cnf)
	export $(shell sed 's/=.*//' $(cnf))

	# import deploy config
	# You can change the default deploy config with `make cnf="deploy_special.env" release`
	dpl ?= deploy.env
	include $(dpl)
