"Use Visual Studio Code with integrated Git, Terminal and IDE features just like you would use it locally."

Is this using rsync or ? What is the best way to synchronize local disk with the remote server?

Curious if this could work with iPad pro. There are a few cloud IDE things in this space, but MoonHome's pricing is much friendlier.

Visual Studio Code has built-in support for remote development. It runs a local agent on the remote server via SSH which does essentially whatever you would be doing locally (e.g. viewing, editing, searching) and only sends the minimal results you need over the network.

VSCode has an existing remote option that uses ssh as the transport. Maybe it's leveraging that?
