Learn how to run Neovim remotely using SSH port forwarding and connect to it from your local machine. The guide covers basic SSH tunneling to forward Neovim's server port, then progresses to a more sophisticated setup using SSH control sockets for managing background connections. This approach enables multiplexing, allowing faster subsequent connections and easier process management through SSH control master commands.
