Found another use case for cloud IDEs: protecting long git push processes. Been working on a Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup resin server, and the compilation takes a while. Seems like I can do:
- In the SSH console
sudo apt-get install screen
to be able to leave a process behind - run
screen
and push there - can navigate away if need to, and when returning, just
screen -DR
in the SSH console again.
The free tier for Codeanywhere does not include “always on” servers, so it might be shut down in the background, but it should protect from short network outages, for example.
