Extend the timeout on SSH connections

A quick google search will quickly answer this question, but I’ve found myself asking it a few times lately.  Often when I let an SSH session go idle, I’ll end up being disconnected.  By adding ServerAliveInterval 60 to ~/.ssh/config I’ve managed to limit this from happening.

There is also a similar server side fix for this.  Consult man ssh_config and man sshd_config for more details.
