`sshcode` is a CLI to automatically install and run [code-server](https://github.com/cdr/code-server) over SSH.
It uploads your extensions and settings automatically, so you can seamlessly use
remote servers as [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) hosts.
If you have Chrome installed, it opens the browser in app mode. That means
there's no keybind conflicts, address bar, or indication that you're coding within a browser.
**It feels just like native VS Code.**
## Install
**Have Chrome installed for the best experience.**
Install with `go`:
```bash
go get -u go.coder.com/sshcode
```
Or, grab a [pre-built binary](https://github.com/cdr/sshcode/releases).
### OS Support
We currently support:
- Linux
- MacOS
- WSL
For the remote server, we currently only support Linux `x86_64` (64-bit)
servers with `glibc`. `musl` libc (which is most notably used by Alpine Linux)
is currently not supported on the remote server:
[#122](https://github.com/cdr/sshcode/issues/122).
## Usage
```bash
sshcode [email protected]
# Starts code-server on dev.kwc.io and opens in a new browser window.
```
You can specify a remote directory as the second argument:
```bash
sshcode [email protected] "~/projects/sourcegraph"
```
## Extensions & Settings Sync
By default, `sshcode` will `rsync` your local VS Code settings and extensions
to the remote server every time you connect.
This operation may take a while on a slow connections, but will be fast
on follow-up connections to the same server.
To disable this feature entirely, pass the `--skipsync` flag.
### Custom settings directories
If you're using an alternate release of VS Code such as VS Code Insiders, you
must specify your settings directories through the `VSCODE_CONFIG_DIR` and
`VSCODE_EXTENSIONS_DIR` environment variables.
The following will make `sshcode` work with VS Code Insiders:
**MacOS**
```bash
export VSCODE_CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code - Insiders/User"
export VSCODE_EXTENSIONS_DIR="$HOME/.vscode-insiders/extensions"
```
**Linux**
```bash
export VSCODE_CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/.config/Code - Insiders/User"
export VSCODE_EXTENSIONS_DIR="$HOME/.vscode-insiders/extensions"
```
### Sync-back
By default, VS Code changes on the remote server won't be synced back
when the connection closes. To synchronize back to local when the connection ends,
pass the `-b` flag.
