Hello all!
We are in the slightly uncomfortable condition to do some remote coding. Means write XQ code that has to be kept on a server different from our PCs.
We don't want to slow down our very agile development workflow by passing everytime from a Git repo ...
Has anyone here some experience with remote editing of this kind? Using BaseX Gui is out of discussion, isn't it?
Depends - you can run programs remotely e.g on the Linux desktop using X (instead of Wayland), and that should work fine with the BaseX GUI, assuming it's also on Linux. You run it on the server and display locally,
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-fix-x11-forwarding-request-failed-on-ch... may help set this up over ssh - the example assumes a CentOS remote server. There's X11 support also on the Mac although i don't know the details.
If your connection is too slow, you may find this isn't as effective as testing locally and then doing a git push.
Another option is a remote file system, such as NFS with Stunnel - see e.g. https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/encrypting-nfsv4-stunnel-tls
