When the iPad Pro came out, I was skeptical about it being useful for a developer for much, but I decided to splurge for one when I found out about...

I'm working on an app that would give you a Linux shell that runs directly on your device, so you can do this sort of thing but without a DigitalOcean server or an internet connection. How useful does that sound?
I'd definitely be interested in trying it out! I'm mostly curious how powerful such a shell would be on a tablet.
At the moment it's pretty far away from actually running on an iOS device, but I'll keep you posted.
Another interesting take on this is Giving the iPad a full time job which inspired me to try an iPad for real work.
Once you connect a Smart Keyboard cover to your iPad it just feels much more useful.
I can recommend Working Copy as a surprisingly powerful git client for iOS.
Giving the iPad a full time job is a great article, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it. Working Copy I enjoyed as a git client, but when it came down to it, for me, I really preferred command line.
But I'm a command line type of guy. :D
This is great, thank you! I'd be curious to see what it looks like switching back and forth to Safari. Do you need to touch the screen for that?
Sorry, I probably should have mentioned I'm using the keyboard smart cover! If you're using the keyboard smart cover, you can use command-tab to switch windows, same as if you were doing it on a macbook.
That works with other Bluetooth keyboards as well.
It does, I just meant I had a keyboard is all. :D
Great article, thanks for sharing!
If you like GNU Screen, I'd recommend trying Byobu. It's more or less the same, uses an underlying screen or tmux, but I find it neater and easier to configure.
Nice! I'll take a look. Thanks for the info!
