## Description

sshcode is a tool for deploying remote IDEs that installs and runs a VS Code editor on a remote server over SSH for browser-based access. It functions as an SSH remote IDE deployer and tunneling proxy, routing the remote editor instance to a local browser port via secure shell encrypted tunnels.

The system synchronizes local editor settings and extensions to a remote server to ensure consistent development environments. This includes backing up and transferring user configurations between local machines and remote filesystems.

The project manages the full lifecycle of remote development, including the distribution of server binaries, remote process orchestration, and the synchronization of filesystem-based settings. It enables remote filesystem code editing by managing the connection and environment consistency across distributed machines.
