IntelliJ file synchronization forever stored on SSHFS

Question

I am doing all my development on a Mac, and my files are on a remote Linux server. I use SSHFS to access files. When I use IntelliJ in a local project, I don’t even notice file synchronization, most likely because it can access files very quickly. But when I have a project open via SSHFS, synchronization takes a lot of time, which is a pain, because the checks depend on the completion of synchronization. I do not see the analysis of the code until the synchronization is completed.

I saw one solution in which someone moved the intellij project files to a local directory and pointed the project to SSHFS files, but I would prefer everything in one place.

I need to know how to speed up synchronization or perform checks even if the files are synchronized.

Answer 1

You should consider using a local copy of all your files on your Mac and using a synchronization utility like Unison or RSync to sync your files.
