This SSH configuration file specifies settings for connecting to GitHub via SSH. It defines the host alias "github.com" which redirects connections to "ssh.github.com" on port 443. The SSH key will be automatically added to the agent for authentication. This allows connecting to GitHub through SSH while using standard HTTPS ports if the standard SSH ports are blocked.

configuration you've provided is a part of an SSH configuration file for connecting to GitHub via SSH. It specifies an alternate SSH hostname and port number for GitHub. Specifically:Host github.com: This line defines a host alias. It tells your SSH client that when you attempt to connect to github.com, you should use the settings provided below.Hostname ssh.github.com: This line specifies the actual hostname to connect to when you use the alias github.com. In this case, it redirects SSH connections from github.com to ssh.github.com.AddKeysToAgent yes: This line indicates that when you use SSH to connect to github.com, the SSH key used for authentication should be automatically added to your SSH agent. This can help streamline the authentication process.Port 443: This line specifies the port number to use when connecting to ssh.github.com. In this case, it uses port 443, which is the standard HTTPS port. This is often used when SSH traffic is blocked by a firewall, as it's commonly allowed through standard HTTPS ports.In summary, this configuration allows you to use the alias github.com to connect to GitHub via SSH. When you do, it will redirect your connection to ssh.github.com on port 443, and it will automatically add your SSH key to the SSH agent for authentication. This can be helpful in cases where standard SSH ports are blocked by a firewall.
