What remote support does
Nora supports two remote access modes for SSH-based projects. You can mount a remote path and work with it like a local folder, or you can open the repository directly over SSH so Git, agents, and terminals stay on the server without creating a local mount.
How to connect a remote repo
Use the add-workspace flow and choose the remote-over-SSH option. Then choose the connection mode that fits the job. Pick mount mode when you want a mounted path you can browse like a local folder. Pick direct SSH mode when you want the repository to stay remote and you want Git, terminals, and agent work to run on the server itself. In both cases, once connected, the remote project behaves like a normal Nora workspace.
Mounted SSH workspaces may be slower than direct SSH sessions because SSH file systems add network latency and usually have weaker filesystem performance than a local disk. If browsing a mounted repo feels sluggish, prefer direct SSH mode so the work stays on the server.
How to manage remote environments
Use the remote mounts section in the workspace sidebar to inspect active mounts, revisit their remote paths, and unmount them when they are no longer needed. If you are using direct SSH mode, there is no mount to clean up because the workspace stays remote by design. If Nora cannot find remote mount support on the machine, it can still fall back to direct SSH when that mode is available.
