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

Chrome is recommended.

go get go.coder.com/sshcode

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 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-on connections to the same server.

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