See the discussion in#185

sshcode is a CLI to automatically install and runcode-server over SSH.

It uploads your extensions and settings automatically, so you can seamlessly useremote servers asVS Code hosts.

If you have Chrome installed, it opens the browser in app mode. That meansthere's no keybind conflicts, address bar, or indication that you're coding within a browser.It feels just like native VS Code.

Have Chrome installed for the best experience.

Install withgo:

go get -u go.coder.com/sshcode

Or, grab apre-built binary.

We currently support:

• Linux
• MacOS
• WSL

For the remote server, we currently only support Linuxx86_64 (64-bit)servers withglibc.musl libc (which is most notably used by Alpine Linux)is currently not supported on the remote server:#122.

sshcode kyle@dev.kwc.io# Starts code-server on dev.kwc.io and opens in a new browser window.

You can specify a remote directory as the second argument:

sshcode kyle@dev.kwc.io"~/projects/sourcegraph"

By default,sshcode willrsync your local VS Code settings and extensionsto the remote server every time you connect.

This operation may take a while on a slow connections, but will be faston follow-up connections to the same server.

To disable this feature entirely, pass the--skipsync flag.

If you're using an alternate release of VS Code such as VS Code Insiders, youmust specify your settings directories through theVSCODE_CONFIG_DIR andVSCODE_EXTENSIONS_DIR environment variables.

The following will makesshcode work with VS Code Insiders:

MacOS

export VSCODE_CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code - Insiders/User"export VSCODE_EXTENSIONS_DIR="$HOME/.vscode-insiders/extensions"

Linux

export VSCODE_CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/.config/Code - Insiders/User"export VSCODE_EXTENSIONS_DIR="$HOME/.vscode-insiders/extensions"

By default, VS Code changes on the remote server won't be synced backwhen the connection closes. To synchronize back to local when the connection ends,pass the-b flag.
