Tmate - Instant terminal sharing
- kareemk 13y agoI've tried this out and it is dramatically better then other alternatives, full screen-sharing suffers from latency issues (screenhero, logmein, etc...) and sharing an ssh session is a pain to get setup (e.g. wemux). I highly recommend it.
- kfir 13y agoI don't get it why not just use tmux?! tmux -S /tmp/pair chmod 777 /tmp/pair tmux -S /tmp/pair attach
- nviennot 13y agoBecause you need to open some port on your router, create an SSH account, and let your friend connect to your machine. That's a pain point.
- kfir 13y agoFrom the video it looks like this works via SSH as well so you will still need to "create an SSH account, and let your friend connect to your machine"
- kareemk 13y agoYou don't need to create an SSH account or let your friends connect to your machine. Your session is proxied through the tmate.io server (safely) so that you can avoid the headache of opening up a connection.
- kareemk 13y agoThis is tmux with the headache of sharing an ssh session solved.
- leishulang 13y agoso share ssh token instead of share ssh credentials?
- wisesascha 13y agoWhy is this any better then wemux
- nviennot 13y agowith wemux, you still need to give SSH access to your local machine, but with tmate, you don't give SSH access. As a matter of fact, you don't even need an SSH server on your machine. The trouble of having to setup networking // SSH accounts is gone

- joshbaptiste 13y agoI really really like this project.. combined with some HTML output page of some sort, one can display errors in real time to an interested party for debugging purposes.
