Using a cloud IDE: Codeanywhere

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:

  1. In the SSH console sudo apt-get install screen to be able to leave a process behind
  2. run screen and push there
  3. 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. :v:
