A classic hack for linux users, connect via ssh without password.
First, on your client, generate public key
ssh-key-gen -t rsa
keep ~/.ssh/id_rsa by default.
Copy public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) from your client to the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on the server with the ssh-copy-id binary.
Then edit your ~/.ssh/config file on client side to custom your params:
Host dev HostName dev.domain.com Port 22 User root
Finaly, you can add an alias in your ~/.bashrc
alias dev='ssh dev'
Now, to launche a ssh connection, just run
dev
