WP-CLI had no way to specify a custom SSH config file when connecting to remote servers, blocking use cases like Lima (Linux on macOS) where connections require
ssh -F config_file host_alias.Changes
php/WP_CLI/Runner.php: Ingenerate_ssh_command, readsssh_configfrom the alias config and prepends-F <path>to the SSH command args. Also addsssh_configto the connection-specific keys skip list so it is not forwarded to the remote WP-CLI instance.features/aliases.feature: Adds a Behat scenario verifying-Fappears in the generated SSH command whenssh_configis set.Usage
