Local <> Remote Sync

[smpanaro]

Remote Development makes my life easier, but I think it could be even better.

My workflow looks like this:

1. Iterate locally on my project using CPU and tiny GPU.
2. ... until I want to scale up to a bigger GPU.
3. Spin up GPU on [preferred cloud provider].
4. Zip + scp over all files (except for downloaded dependencies). 👈 annoying
5. Use Zed Remote Development to iterate on project using the bigger GPU. 👍 very nice
6. When done, zip and scp all changes back to local. 👈 annoying
7. Manually copy changes into my local repo (carefully, just in case). 👈 annoying
8. Spin down remote server. git commit etc.

It would be really nice to get rid of the annoying parts. I'm imagining:

• When I have a project open, a new "Move to Remote" option.

• Choose an empty folder on the remote.
• Zed syncs my project over (except for .env, build artifacts etc).
• Open Zed terminal pip install, iterate with the bigger GPU, etc.
• As I make changes, they sync back to my local machine.
  • Or there's a way to manually sync at the end.

I imagine there are better ways than my current zip+scp, but having it built into Zed would be my ideal.
