alt Hacker NewsDoes ST support opening a repo on a remote server? The last time I used it was back in my freshman year of college, and I haven't touched it since. Does anyone happen to know?

My use on remote servers is usually with winscp on windows and defining sublime as the default editor. Works fine for my use.
I haven't looked much in the repo of plugins, but quickly searching 'ssh' there I found these (but not tested) that might fit your need : https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SSHubl https://packagecontrol.io/packages/OpenFileOverSSH
Curiosity is killing my cat here. How are we supposed to know when your freshman year of college was? Was it a year ago, 8?
As far as I know ST is just a text editor (File -> Open -> Choose File)... so what would "opening a repo" even mean in that context?
Not sure what you mean by "opening a repo on a remote server", but if you mean mounting a remote file system, this isn't really a sublime-specific feature. Use SSHFS (or other) and then just open the folder in Sublime and have at it.
If you mean interacting with git directly with Sublime, there's a number of plugins https://packagecontrol.io/packages/GitSavvy. But this does like any normal workflow does -- it creates a local repo and uses standard git commands to sync (push/pull).
