No need to install it on remote systems. I'm more of a Vi guy and I have a decent selection of plugins on my primary system, but I appreciate being able to use the built in Vim features without installing stuff on remote machines.
Though Magit seems maybe a bit of a weird thing to be using on a minimal remote system.
- Myrmornis 9y agoAnd you can use the built-in emacs features via emacs -nw on a remote system. Core vim doesn't come with a git client I assume? So I'm not seeing the difference. The other answer is apt-get install emacs-core-plus-standard-packages or apt-get install emacs-core emacs-magit emacs-org-mode i.e. people produce linux packages that set up emacs with its MELPA packages. If we don't put stuff like org-mode and magit in emacs then the community will produce emacs distributions bundling the standard add-ons.
- Grue3 9y agoThere's no need to install Magit on remote systems. It works flawlessly over TRAMP and I use it every day like that.
