TRAMP. Being able to seamlessly remotely edit files and run remote modes.
At work I regularly edit files on 10-15 remote machines. But I never ssh to them and run an editor. Instead I'll just visit them through TRAMP, run Magit to commit stuff that I've done etc.
- tikhonj 15y agoMy coworkers often don't even realize I'm editing a remote file or working in a remote shell. It's really that seamless. Of course, sometimes I forget I'm working remotely, and hilarity ensues. The worst episode was in a recent school project. I thought "oh, I'll just finish this on the train". And then, when I got on the train, realized I had actually been working remotely. Oops.
- technomancy 15y ago> It's really that seamless. Not only is it seamless editing, you can actually use tramp to "cd" into a directory on a remote machine using eshell.
- rcthompson 15y agoDoes magit actually work in git repos on remote servers? Edit: Holy crap, it does. That's going to be useful.
- thingie 15y agoI use tramp as well, but can't say I like it. Blocking whole UI because of network problems, leaving garbage in the shell history on the machines I'm connecting to, getting confused (and hung-up) by different prompts. It's nice, but too volatile.
