For the last couple of days, I've been trying to get a static website up using hugo (emacs + ox-hugo), and I've been using tramp to ssh into the machine and do my work.

Tramp is literally magic. It just puts the right text into your buffer, where all the tools you use on your machine are just available by default. Even org exports and the like behave as expected, outputting the resultant file into the correct dir on the remote machine.

I've been using emacs as a <50IQ user for about a year now. I've yet to write a single line of Elisp (apart from use-package declarations). It's awesome!

I love tramp. I can even edit config files on a teeny openwrt router without resorting to busybox vi. Even commands like m-x grep work remotely
