🤯 Magit even works when you open a project on a remote server! As in, you can open a file over ssh in emacs, make some edits, hit `C-x g` or whatever your magit hotkey is, and it goes and figures out the state of everything on the remote server, including what the “project” is... cuz like, you already have an SSH connection anyways. And you can do all your usual git things in the same UI regardless of where the repo lives.

Slight delay but hey that’s fantastic and better than direct ssh!

I use this a lot, but with #TRAMP accessing a different users repo on the same machine:

/sudo:otheruser@localhost:/home/otheruser/gitrepo/…

Of course, it can be even combined:

/ssh:othermachine|sudo:otheruser@othermachine:/home/otheruser/gitrepo/…

@debacle I also had never tried chaining multiple before... that's fantastic!

Wild how in 2026, billions of dollars by megacorps still can't produce a better editor. this is better and less finnicky than every remote development tool I've seen.
