Remote Run (VS Code extension)

Remote Run (VS Code extension)

About this project

A VS Code extension for writing code on your own computer and running it on another machine over SSH — a Raspberry Pi, a server or a cloud VM. Press Ctrl+S to sync the file, press Run, and the output streams back into VS Code. Several hosts can stay connected at once. Remote files can be browsed and edited in place, and files move in every direction: from your computer to a host, between hosts, and back. Transfers stream in small chunks instead of loading whole files into memory, so a 4 GB video costs as little memory as a small script. Images, video, audio and PDFs on the remote machine open in a VS Code tab without being downloaded first. The player's requests are turned into partial SFTP reads, so the remote sends only the parts you actually watch. It was built and tested on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with 512 MB of RAM, so every feature is designed to stay fast on very small devices. Passwords are kept in the operating system's keychain. Published on the Visual Studio Marketplace.
