You already liked Transmit, which is also a product from Panic. Since you're fine in acquiring new/different software, give Panic's Coda a try. However, for more serious work, a better IDE would definitely fit your requirements better. I also used SublimeText (I think I've still got it somewhere) because I like the way it opens files so fast - especially on older Macs. I don't want a tool that can't handle new/changed/deleted files or folders without fiddling with its source code.Ī very old question, but maybe my own answer helps. Note that I'm looking for a solution that works out of the box.

writing some AppleScript to sync Transmit both ways each ten seconds.

I'm not sure any of those can actually watch remote folder for changes. I'm open to suggestions for a tool to improve my workflow. I'm really confused now and I don't feel like wasting a couple of hours on a wrong solution. This makes branches impossible to work with. You need to unmount and mount again to see the remote changes. SFTP mounting is great-unfortunately, it has major disadvantages: file searching is predictably slow and there seems to be no way to tell Transmit that files have changed on server. (I could probably get around this by writing some clever AppleScript-but I don't know it.)

two-way sync between local and remote folder Īlas, its two-way sync is manual and has to be invoked by pressing a button.

Then I attacked the problem with Panic Transmit. I began my quest with Sublime Text SFTP plugin by Will Bond but found it unstable and slow. My editor of choice is Sublime Text (which is awesome, you totally should check it out). So I figured I need an automatic, two-way sync solution. When I check out a different branch, I want the local folder to update accordingly.

I use OS X for development and I want to push changes to dev server on every ⌘+S.
