how to use lemonade to share a clipboard between remote computers

use lemonade for remote clipboard sharing

on local and remote machine:

go get github.com/pocke/lemonade  (if you have Go installed, if not download lemonade binary from github)

make sure $GOPATH/bin is in your path on both machines 
-- or move $GOPATH/bin/lemonade to a place already in your path like /usr/local/bin

on your local machine add a script like this:

cat ~/bin/remote

#!/bin/bash
ps cax | grep lemonade> /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "lemonade is running."
else
  echo "lemonade is not running."
  nohup lemonade server &
fi
ssh -R 2489:127.0.0.1:2489 remote.server.com

then chmod +x ~/bin/remote

when you type `remote` it will open lemonade server locally, ssh tunnel the lemonade clipboard port.  

locally (like on my mac)  cmd-C to copy something.

this works between any two computers, even if one of them is a vm on the same machine 

remote -  $> lemonade paste

OR use the amazing neovim which has built-in lemonade support and just type "p" in neovim to paste the contents
of your local clipboard to your remote neovim session buffer.

for bonus points, modify the script to use a variable to invoke it with the remote server name:

$ remote my.server.com 

Thanks a lot! This really helps me!

incredible. thx

Instead of that ssh command, you can add this line to the servers in your ssh config:

    RemoteForward 2489 localhost:2489  # Lemonade

and just start the server in your .bashrc. Then you can keep using ssh as before.
