Check on long builds and jobs from your phone
Long builds, test suites and data jobs do not care whether you are at your desk. With a terminal on your phone you can start something, leave, and look in on it later.
Run it so it survives
A job started in a terminal session can stop if that session closes. Run long jobs inside tmux or screen so you can reattach from any device.
- On your Mac, start a session:
tmux new -s build - Start the job inside it, then detach with
Ctrl-bthend. - From your phone, open Terminal in Helm and run
tmux attach -t build.
Keep the Mac awake
A sleeping Mac cannot finish your build. Turn on keep-awake in the Helm Mac app, and the closed-lid setting if the laptop is shut.
When you need more than a shell
Sometimes the answer is on screen: a dialog waiting for a click, or a design file. Helm Pro lets you see and control the whole screen from your phone, and send files in either direction.
