I can still remember when I discovered ssh-copy-id, after doing it
manually for 15+ yrs.  I felt very foolish.

If you aren't using the ~/.ssh/config file, please take a look at it
too.  Every tool I've ever used that leverages ssh honors the settings
in there.  No need to know ports or userids or forget keep-alive
settings ever again. Want to automate access to a host that isn't on the
internet via a jump-box?  No problem.

ssh-copy-id and ~/.ssh/config will change your lives.
