Anyway, it needs a daemon on the remote system, but perhaps https://github.com/u-root/cpu is suitable. (I can't vouch for it, not having used it.)
The HTCondor batch system also provides something like that, but I don't know details, and it's probably not a separable component.
In SSH tips and tricksA coworker of mine works locally in $editor_of_choice (which is VS for C#, VSC for most others, some weird DB system for SQL), and has a window of Beyond Compare always on top; that allows him to see what files are different locally/remote and push them (he compiles/tests remotely). Might work for you too.
Another useful option, depends on your specifics, is the Plan 9 "cpu" command[0], available for Linux at [1]. It takes an unusual approach, which is IMHO superior for embedded machines, but which may work well for some other use cases (though not all).
