This enables portable SSH keys in cmder, enabling you to have full SSH access using cmder portably on a USB (for example). Please note that when you ssh-keygen, it will still default to %USERPROFILE%, so you will either have to change the path on generation, or manually move the keys to your %CMDER_ROOT%\config\.ssh directory.

Copy link

ln -s %USERPROFILE%\.ssh %CMDER_ROOT%\config\.ssh
