I really like this[2] solution from /u/hoechst,

> Not really a script, but a `.ssh/config` to automatically deploy parts of my local cli environment to every server i connect to (if username and ip/hostname matches my rules).

> On first connect to a server, this sync all the dotfiles i want to a remote host and on subsequent connects, it updates the dotfiles.

> Idk if this is "special", but I haven't seen anyone else do this really and it beats for example ansible playbooks by being dead simple.

    Match Host 192.168.123.*,another-example.org,*.example.com User myusername,myotherusername

I bookmarked that for reference last night.

I haven't tested it yet, but the tip from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32468605 seem neat: (automatically copy config files on connect)
