Invalid SSH config syntax

All checks
errorChecked in the browserINVALID_SYNTAX

A directive has no argument, an empty argument, or an unclosed quote.

Why it matters

OpenSSH rejects the configuration before it can evaluate any host settings.

How to fix it

Add the required argument and close each single or double quote on the same line. Then run ssh -G work to confirm that OpenSSH can parse the file.
