Editing files
Through a text editor like VSCode or Sublime Text
Well, maybe you are thinking, write a script on your laptop, upload it to the ACP, and run it. BAD IDEA.
What you probably want to do is, make an SFTP connection from your text editor to the ACP. Look into these links:
Through the terminal while connected on the ACP
If you have to edit a text file or a script while being in the terminal, connected to the ACP, the easiest way would be to use nano. Just get the path of the file you want to edit, and then:
nano /path/to/script_to_edit.sh
But to the power users out there, NeoVim is the way to go, if you want to:
- Move FAST through your files and folders.
- Modal editing.
- quickfixlist, buffers
- LSP integration
- Fuzzy finding your:
- Files
- Diagnostics
- Terminal integration
- Take advantage of vim plugins
- Have fun using a text editor
All these goodies, while being in the terminal? And without your hand ever leaving the keyboard, so you can throw away the mouse too! This all sound geeky, but on God, NeoVim is fire for real for real.
