The colleague connects by selecting “Remote: Connect to Session” and entering that address. Installation is available through Sublime Package Control or manually from a ZIP or TAR.GZ archive. Remote Collab lists Linux, macOS, and Windows as supported platforms, while its editor support is SublimeText. TeamRemote maintains the project; its project information identifies four members as students at Allegheny College. The GitHub repository lists an MIT license.
