About
Vanish is a CLI tool that runs any command on managed Linux compute against your live working tree, including uncommitted files, and streams the output back to your terminal, so heavy builds, tests, or agent workloads don't drain a laptop's battery or CPU. It works by prefixing an existing command, such as "vanish cargo test," so adopting it does not require changing an existing workflow. The first run in a repository uploads and hashes the tree, which can take about ninety seconds on a 27 GB tree; after that Vanish adds roughly a second per command.
What it does
The site describes Vanish as a prefix for terminal commands that ships the current checkout to a remote machine and hands results back. It says written files wait in a staging area until applied, and that a single command runs slower than locally, with gains only when several run at once.
