What it does

Crabbox gives an agent or a person a separate computer for running tests, builds and UI checks while the code stays open on their own machine. That computer can be a cloud box, a local VM or container, or a machine they already own. A crabbox run command syncs the working tree, uncommitted changes included, and streams the output back with the exit code.

Use cases

  1. 01Run the full test suite on a clean remote machine
  2. 02Check a UI build before opening a pull request
  3. 03Keep editing while a long build runs elsewhere
