Work on a remote machine over SSH

Point Orca at any SSH target — a beefier dev box, a GPU host, a cloud sandbox — and it feels like a local worktree. Same editor, same diff view, same agents, different compute. You can open remote repos or just arbitrary folders.

Setup

1. Add the host under Settings → SSH.
2. Test the connection. Make sure git is installed on the host if you're working with a repo.
3. Add the repo to Orca, selecting the SSH target as its location — or open any remote folder directly from the file picker.

Run

1. Create a worktree. Orca runs git worktree add on the remote.
2. Launch an agent — it runs on the remote host, not your laptop.
3. Edit files inline — Orca streams saves to the remote filesystem.
4. Review the diff, commit, and push from your laptop as usual.

Disconnects

Laptop sleeps, Wi-Fi drops — the agent keeps running remotely. Orca reconnects and re-attaches the terminal. Nothing lost.
