How does this compare to the feature for sharing terminals within VS Code? Is it a similar technique or totally different implementation?

- elliotf 5y agoI don't know about this project, but I have used tmate.io (self hosted ssh server) for almost seven years for remote pairing, using vim inside of tmate. Compared to vscode: when sharing the terminal, you don't need to worry about following the other person's cursor or them following yours, as there is only one cursor. You don't need to worry about telling them what dukes you are opening, as there is only one editor. You also don't need to worry about registering for an account, as (at least with tmate) it's simply an ssh connection for the remote person. It is the only way I've found that allows for effective remote pairing. There are a number of downsides, but it is a wonderful tool.
