netman.nvim VS nvim-dev-container

Hello Neovimers :) I posted this on the netman repo as well but I just wanted some opinions from users who use netman.

Lazy self promotion of netman.nvim which is designed to give you browse (and edit/read access) of remote systems without actually needing any configurations on said remote systems :)

I haven't been super active lately but Netman.nvim is my attempt to give neovim a solid remote editing experience. I've been taking a bit of time to myself though but it's still relatively stable for ssh and docker.

If you are really interested in doing this yourself with loop, you should take a look at either plenary.job or netman.shell (I made the latter) as both are very well documented.

If there are any users of Netman already that also use windows (or users of Neovim that want to use Netman but can't because they are on a windows machine), please checkout the windows-compat branch!

Does that not write out to the current pty? That is an issue I have been facing with generic ssh support in netman. I have yet to come up with a decent solution to it :(

A quick bullet point list of features that are included in this point update - Mostly complete Neo-tree integration - Moving files and directories between hosts (including between docker containers and ssh servers) - Auto opening your remote "home" directory in ssh - A complete rewrite of how our "integration" with neovim works - A completely new logging system - A new event system

The password issue is currently something I am looking to address in netman though exploration into the area has proven unfruitful so far :/

Netman supports remote editing of files over ssh.

As you can see from the customizations section, Dev Containers are IDE agnostic. For example, there is a project implementing Dev Container support into nvim. But since the Visual Studio Code (vscode) team at Microsoft invented Dev Containers, it is currently the IDE with the best Dev Container experience.

Is there any extension that fullty supports the dev.json spec? I tried this : https://github.com/esensar/nvim-dev-container But it looks like it doesn`t add any of the features I set on the dev.json. I also cant seem to make the :terminal command attach to the container - it does work on VsCode :z.

How do you achieve the devcontainer experience without any VS Code? I am aware of plugins like https://github.com/jamestthompson3/nvim-remote-containers and https://github.com/esensar/nvim-dev-container however I didn't figure them out and they don't seem very active.

nvim-dev-container provides functionality related to devcontainer.json file, similar to VSCods's remote container development.
