Not really a script, but a `.ssh/config` to automatically deploy parts of my local cli environment to every server i connect to (if username and ip/hostname matches my rules).

On first connect to a server, this sync all the dotfiles i want to a remote host and on subsequent connects, it updates the dotfiles.

Idk if this is "special", but I haven't seen anyone else do this really and it beats for example ansible playbooks by being dead simple.

   Match Host 192.168.123.*,another-example.org,*.example.com User myusername,myotherusername
      ForwardAgent yes
      PermitLocalCommand yes
      LocalCommand rsync -L --exclude .netrwhist --exclude .git --exclude .config/iterm2/AppSupport/ --exclude .vim/bundle/youcompleteme/ -vRrlptze "ssh -o PermitLocalCommand=no" %d/./.screenrc %d/./.gitignore %d/./.bash_profile %d/./.ssh/git_ed25519.pub %d/./.ssh/authorized_keys %d/./.vimrc %d/./.zshrc %d/./.config/iterm2/ %d/./.vim/ %d/./bin/ %d/./.bash/ %r@%n:/home/%r
