For those not into the lingo, Tramp is the Emacs module/package responsible for allowing you to transparently work on remote files and host in your local editor in a way I haven’t seen any other software do.

And yes, it’s really neat.

Thank you. I don’t know why more posts like this don’t spend a line or two providing that context

So, here's the first three sentences in the linked article:

I recently changed jobs and found myself in a position where I would need to do a lot of work on remote machines. Since I am Emacs user, the most common way to do this is using TRAMP (Transparent Remote access, Multiple Protcol). TRAMP is an Emacs package that let’s you treat a remote host like a local system, similar to VSCode Remote Development Extension.

Doesn't that provide context?

To be fair, I added that after reading the parent comment. I did a poor job of describing what TRAMP was because I targeting this towards Emacs users.

Ah! That explains my confusion. Thanks for clarifying, and my apologies to sylens.

Great post, by the way!
