CLI
Browse and run code on a remote machine, from your phone
The project doesn't have to be on the machine in front of you. codemote-cli lets you browse it, run it, and ship it from wherever it actually lives.
Pair with npx codemote-cli start and you get the whole loop for a remote project: browse the file tree with image and Markdown preview, run it in a live terminal on the same machine, and ship the result through Git, all from your phone.
The loop
- Browse: the full project tree, with image and Markdown preview.
- Run: a live terminal on the same machine to start it, test it, or restart a service.
- Ship: stage, diff, commit and push from the Git view.
Why this beats a code snippet in chat
Getting a change through an AI chat interface means trusting a description of it. Here you see the actual file in its real tree, run the actual project, and read the actual diff before it ships: the same working tree you’d see at a desk.
Works on a VPS, a home server, or any machine with Node.js 18+. The remote machine never needs an editor installed. Need to change a file in place, not just run it? That’s the VS Code extension’s job. See Edit code on your phone.
Questions
Can I edit files with this, or just browse and run them?
codemote-cli gives you file browsing (with image and Markdown preview) and a live terminal to run, test or restart what's on the machine. It doesn't do in-place text editing; for that, pair with the VS Code extension instead.
Can I actually run the project, or just view the code?
You can run it. codemote-cli gives you a live terminal on the same machine, so you can start a dev server, run tests, or restart a service after reviewing the code, not just browse files.
