I agree with this, but being able to ssh into a server and just grab Helix instead of copying over my Vim config and whatever else it depends on is really nice. Makes your dev env feel a lot more portable (although also more barebones than a crazy Vim config)
- mi_lk 1y agoIt's not like Helix is as ubiquitous as Vim on a random remote server. If that's not the case surely the effort to install Helix is bigger than copying Vim config?
- kibwen 1y agoI've had trouble in the past with systems whose version of vim is too old to understand the options in my config.
- t_mahmood 1y agoHow is so? I have my dot files in GitHub. I just have to clone, run `PlugInstall` and it's all ready.

- simjnd 1y agoGlad it works for you! My dot files are in a private repo, I don't want to bother with adding new SSH keys to my GitHub account and then remembering to cleanup everything for what could be a one-time use. `apk add helix` is way easier for me.
- q0uaur 1y agothis was my plan, but then i got really into using LSPs and i'm not about to install every LSP on every server i ssh into. Currently i just use sshfs to mount whatever directory i want to work on locally, nice to have all lsps available and also see my changes reflected on the server instantly.
