About:
Rmate is a command-line utility that enables remote file editing by forwarding connections from a server to a local TextMate instance. It allows developers to seamlessly open and edit files on remote machines via SSH without transferring files manually. This streamlines the workflow for server configuration and code editing directly within a powerful local editor.
Key Features:
  • Seamless integration with TextMate for remote editing
  • Simple SSH-based forwarding mechanism
  • Supports multiple file editing simultaneously
  • Works with standard SSH configurations
Use Cases:
  • Editing configuration files on remote servers directly in TextMate
  • Modifying code on development machines via SSH sessions
  • Quickly editing log files or documents stored on remote systems
Alternatives:
  • rmate – The original Ruby implementation that this Go version aims to replace for better performance
  • subl – Sublime Text's remote editing command, similar concept but editor-specific
  • VSCode Remote – More comprehensive IDE integration but heavier than rmate's simple approach
