Juno + remote development works quite nice, but the Atom built-in git plugin doesn’t seem to pickup when I’m working in a git repo remotely. Is this an issue with Ftp-remote-edit? Juno? Does anyone know a work-around to use git/GitHub from within Atom without having to open a terminal and work from the command-line? Alternatives?

Technically yes.

I don’t think there’s an Atom package that extends the git functionality for remote projects. VSCode’s integration should handle that case well though, I think – but there’s no Juno for VSCode (yet?).

You hit the nail on the head. Remote dev works _brilliantly_ on VSCode, smooth git integration and all and the LanguageServer integration is super helpful for large projects…buttttt I like Juno’s basic features, debugging interface, etc (and personal preference of code blocks being sent through sockets instead of copy pasted to the REPL). Big conundrum 😅
