Mainframer
A tool that executes a command on a remote machine while syncing files back and forth. The process is known as remote execution (in general) and remote build (in particular cases).
Mainframer helps to move heavy operations (like compiling the source code) from a personal computer to a dedicated machine. This way you, as a developer, can use your machine for changing the source code or browsing the documentation without constant freezes and hearing jet engine-like sounds caused by the build process. The execution itself is not limited and can be applied to actions like encoding audio and video, batch processing and more.
It works via pushing files to the remote machine, executing the command there and pulling results to the local machine.
$ mainframer ./gradlew build
Sync local → remote machine...
:build
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Sync remote → local machine...
$ java -jar build/libs/sample.jar
This program was built on a remote machine!State of the Project
2.x— the stable version, recommended for production use.3.x— the future version, in active development at this point.- Mainframer is going to be a system-wide tool.
- Mainframer is rewritten in Rust.
- Mainframer will speed up most of existing workflows by syncing during remote command execution.

Transfer Notice
In October 2018, Mainframer was transferred from github/gojuno to github/buildfoundation. It was a friendly agreement between Juno Inc. and Build Foundation after the core developer of the project @artem-zinnatullin left the company.
The motivation for the transfer is to have a neutral space for the future work on the project.
