You are maintaining all your files in the VM though, right? I'm playing with setting up a sync from vm to host so I can do that but still use my local tools.
IntelliJ autosyncs all my files to the VM seamlessly using rsync, yes. I've considered switching to use the remote development features in intellij and just managing everything in the VM and not having anything on the host but I haven't had any trouble with my current setup so I haven't bothered tbh.
I use k8s in Docker desktop, so I tried using ksync, but it’s just broken. Lots of reports of it not working. I’m gonna play with a rolling my own syncing solution, either host -> vm or the other way around.
