TLDR: How to use emacs for ssh, tramp style

Read the docs : https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode

Emacs you tramp

OK, if you want to work with files across ssh then tramp has you covered, but… just sometime is all just hangs and goes wrong.

Can’t remember the format of the command?

How many times am I going to forget this command? Probably a lot more times

 /ssh:username@host.co.uk:/

What works better?

Well if you have emacs installed on the machine you are targeting, then just ssh on to it and boom you are away. However that does mean you end up having to install emacs and your own setup on every remote machine you are working on, which is a pain.

VS-Code works really well, with the remote development plugin now that thing is on another level.
