Good morning,
I didn't really follow your use-case (is it just issue with root-owned
files). `rbbedit` is effectively a wrapper for `ssh/scp` and `bbedit`
commands.
You talk about both a "simple one-liner" and "change of workflow" in one
paragraph. Yes, `rbbedit` is more than one line underneath, so that it
can become that 'one-liner' for different people on different servers.
For me, a manual one-liner would have to be adapted for many of the
different servers I use, but `rbbedit` is consistent across all of them.
I did change my workflow for `rbbedit`, but overall it's a simpler
workflow.
For root-owned files, you should be able to use the `scp` 'copy method'
with `rbbedit`, but the `--wait` flag is enforced so not best for all
cases. Otherwise, I've been known to create a temp copy with changed
user ownership, and use `rbbedit` to edit the temp file. I’m not
recommending that though since it's not a safe thing to do in many
cases. Safely editing root-owned files is a "big topic".
So if your issue is editing root-owned files without allowing root
access, then `rbbedit` is not the tool you seek. If you find a "safe"
solution, I would be keen to hear about it and maybe add to `rbbedit`.

Thanks Charlie,
I have read some threads here in the forum about rbbedit. I just
looked
through the code on github and it is a nice script. I think for me a
one-liner with scp might be enough. On the other side I think about
changing my workflow a bit. As I am using anyhow tmux from the macOS
with
bbedit installed, Only challenge are files owned by root as I don't
allow
ssh connection for root. But I could change my workflow to use first
git
and push the file to my Mac as remote, then make changes with bbedit
on my
private "github" on my make includeing a checkin, then initate a git
pull
from remote. This workflow would bring me some additional improvments:
all
files are versioned, all files are backuped, a centralized repository
for
distributing the changes to all other server would be available.
As I understand that BareBones is focusing on the macOS, a
bbedit-daemon on
remote systems would be a nice feature and might be needed anyhow in
the
future: if people switch from laptop to tablets only , they will
program/work directly on the remote machines using the tablet only as
a
front-end ( Something like a dump terminal with some local features)
In
this case. In a CI and CD environment that would be a nice feature.

Too bad, that I can't use bbedit from a remote tmux session to
initiate an
edit of a local file on a remote server. Seems I still have to
initiate
that from macOS
It's not the actual editor, but rbbedit will help with editing files
using BBEdit, that you have on remote servers.
