Stdinserver

The SSH transport connects to the remote server using the SSH binary in $PATH and the parameters specified in the zrepl config file.

However, instead of a traditional interactive SSH session, zrepl expects another instance of zrepl on the other side of the connection; You may be familiar with this concept from git shell or Borg Backup.

Check the examples for instructions on how to set this up on your machines!
