ssedit
ssedit is a small command line utility built on top of scp that allows you to open and save files / directories on a remote machine using your favourite text editor (or any program you want really), with ease.
Disclaimer: This is super new, I've only really started working on it, and while it does work, there are bugs. You've been warned.
Binary distributions are on their way.
Install
$ go get -u github.com/hazbo/ssedit/ssedit
Providing GOPATH/bin is in your PATH, running the above is all you should need to do.
Usage
$ ssedit open hazbo@example.com /home/hazbo/config.json
Since ssedit is built up on top of scp, the above example assumes that you have
access to the given server via ssh keys. The default text editor (that would
open with the above command) is vim. This is easily changed by use of the -e
flag, for example:
$ ssedit open -e subl hazbo@example.com /home/hazbo/config.json
Due to the way in which ssedit saves your edited files to the remote, a session
is started which essentially watches for changes in your files. To exit out of
the session, it's Ctrl+C.
By default, remote files do also get stored locally during the session. Once you're finished with ssedit they should be automatically deleted. However this program is super new and there might be bugs, so you can manually clear the locally stored files by doing the following if something goes wrong:
$ ssedit clear
