Meng Lin's Byte-Wise Words

As for me, the journey started two weeks ago. It was refreshing with a back-to-school vibe when I first got into the office, of course with a lot of new changes and measures in place, like marks and signs on the floor, to keep people socially distanced, as well as  sanitisers dotted everywhere in the office.

Set up an alias for it from your host machine then. alias apple='ssh root@<remotemachineipaddress>' Put the line into '~/.bashrc' so that it would persist. And there we go, apple is your new login!
