A simple configuration would be:
Host <identifier> # Choose any meaningful name here
HostName <cluster-address>
User <username>
The first line specifies a custom name for your shortcut.
For a connection with X11 forwarding, the SSH connection needs to be started with the -X option:
$ ssh -X <username>@<cluster-address>
Alternatively, the -Y option does mostly the same. The difference with -Y however is that the connection is treated as trusted, meaning fewer security checks are performed. This is thus only recommended if an application does not work with -X.
