remote-exec 1.4.4

A CLI to sync codebases and execute commands remotely

Remote

Work with remote hosts seamlessly Remote uses rsync and ssh to create a seamless working environment from a local directory to remote directories. Most used features are:

• Remotely execute commands from any sub-directory.
• Drop into remote interactive sessions.
• Fire off parallel remote commands on multiple hosts.

Executables and purpose

• remote-init: set up a local directory to point to a remote directory
• remote-ignore: set up directories / files to ignore while pushing
• remote-push: explicitly push local changes remote
• remote-pull: pull a directory from remote to local
• remote: execute a command remotely, after first syncing the local tree with the remote tree
• remote-explain: explain your remote setup, explain what command actually will get run
• remote-quick: execute a command remotely, without syncing the trees
• remote-add: add another remote host to the mirror list
• mremote: execute a remote command on all the hosts, after first syncing the local tree with the remote trees
