 As an example without any fancy tricks, let's set up an SSH tunnel that maps ``localhost`` port 3039 on my local machine to 3039 on my remote machine (the number is arbitrary as long as its between 1024 and 49150): ``$ ssh -l localhost:3039:host:3039 user@host``. You will then be required to enter in your password. This is cumbersome to repeat everytime we log in. Our goal will be to shorten the command to : ``$ ssh hostalias`` and without having to enter in your password. We give some instructions below:

 To make it even quicker, you can type the following on your **local machine**: ``$ssh remotehost "jupyter lab --no-browser --port=3039``. This should function because of all the work we put in during the port forwarding section. To shorten this command, add an alias to your ``~/.bashrc`` file on your **local machine**. I personally use the alias ``rjlab``.
