Mac Cheat Sheet

1. Install sshpass
$ brew install http://git.io/sshpass.rb

2. Using iTerm2, configure profiles and use sshpass so there's no need to enter passwords for ssh, follow this post for configuring iTerm2. What worked for me is in Command, select "Login shell", then send text at start:
sshpass -p 'password' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no user@server
