CLion started 2018.3 Early Access Program with one of the most awaited feature request – remote development support

Stay local, let your IDE do remote work for you!

From the article:

We’ve started with a particular set-up, though we do plan to cover and come to up with more cases in the future. So we are calling the current support state – initial:

• Local client machine: Unix-like (macOS, Linux)
• Remote host: Linux
• Sources location: originally on the local host, CLion will synchronize to the remote machine for you
• Project model: only CMake projects
• rsync is required to be installed on a remote host
