Sync Anchor

Copy selected local files to Remote Server just on your VS Code.

The local-edit → remote-run workflow for AI Coding Agents: Agents change files on your machine, Sync Anchor pushes the exact selection to the server where tests, training, and GPU jobs run.

Usage of the Extension

Click the Sync Anchor icon in the Activity Bar (or run Sync Anchor: Open Panel).
Pick a connection to copy files for (only live SSH sessions are listed).
Set the local base (a folder on your lical machine) and the remote base (a folder on the server).
Check files/folders in the local tree, select for a batch, and then click Preview.
Review the transfer queue (new / overwrite / skip), then Upload.

Configurations

Setting	Default	Description
`syncAnchor.excludes`	`[".git"]`	Glob-like patterns excluded from the tree and uploads. Entries matching the local base's `.gitignore` are excluded too.
