nvrh

demo.client.open.mov.mp4

nvrh (Neovim Remote Helper) aims to provide a simple way of working with a remote Neovim instance, like you would with VSCode Remote.

Installation

Download the nvrh binary for your platform / architecture from the latest release.

Rename it to nvrh and put it somewhere on your PATH for convenience.

Features

• Start Neovim on a remote machine.
• Tunnel the connection between your local and remote machines.
• Start your editor locally, talking to your remote Neovim instance.
• Provide an easy way to tunnel ports.
• Provide an easy way to open URLs on your local machine.

Usage

nvrh client open

This will open a new Neovim instance on your remote machine and connect to it from your local machine.

By default it runs nvim, but you can run something else with

nvrh client open \
  --local-editor nvim-qt \
  --local-editor --nofork \
  --local-editor --server \
  --local-editor {{SOCKET_PATH}}

:NvrhTunnelPort
