File sync

Filesync is only supported by default on Mac and Linux.

If you are using Windows, you must install WSLinux and rsync.

​

(Prerequisite) Create an SSH Key

You must have an SSH key configured on your local machine. Note that Moonglow can’t currently support SSH keys with passphrases.

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

> Enter a file in which to save the key (/home/YOU/.ssh/id_ALGORITHM):[Press enter]

​

Syncing your local workspace to the remote machine

Step 1: Press “cmd + shift + P” (Mac) or “ctrl + shift + P” (Windows).

Step 2: Select “Moonglow: Sync Workspace to Remote”

Step 3: Select the notebook associated with the remote machine you want it synced to.

​

Syncing your remote machine back to your local workspace

Step 1: Press “cmd + shift + P” (Mac) or “ctrl + shift + P” (Windows).

Step 2: Select “Moonglow: Sync Remote to Workspace”

Step 3: Select the notebook associated with the remote machine you want it synced from.

Notes

• The first sync may take some time, but syncs after that should be substantially faster.
• We currently don’t sync anything defined in your .gitignore to the remote machine.
• We don’t sync dotfiles back from the remote machine.
