Setup tramp and shell-mode for interactive shells and remote file editing. Supports local shells, ssh, sudo, docker and kubernetes.
Clone this repository and add to load-path:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/emacs-shell")
(require 'emacs-shell)To start interactive shells, use these commands:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
M-x localhost-shell |
Shell on localhost |
M-x ssh-shell |
Shell on remote host |
M-x sudo-shell |
Root shell (localhost or remote) |
M-x docker-shell |

Bash will be started if available, and your .bashrc on the emacs host will be sourced in the remote shell. Shell history will also be saved in
individual files on the emacs host (.emacs.d/shell-history directory), so history is kept between sessions even if pods have been restarted etc.

| Keys | Where | Description |
