Is it possible to commit remote changes in remote repos in Tower?

Question

Local repo Remote repo

I really like the workflow for commits in Tower. However I need to do my development on a remote server for various reasons. Is it possible to use tower to make commits on that server somehow?

As you can see on the images, regardless of what I select, I only get the local changes. (on the remote called Dev, plenty of other changes are being made)

Yes, I've done that, but I can't seem to track the remote changes on my local computer. Do I have to reload or something? — Himmators, Jul 03 '12 at 05:45
Are you pushing to the new remote? Local changes are found under branches -> branch name -> commits....To see the repo commits it's Remotes -> origin (remote name) -> master -> commits — Dave Mascia, Jul 03 '12 at 14:11
I want to see the changes before they are commited, is that possible? — Himmators, Jul 03 '12 at 14:53
Before staging click on the file, in the middle under file a editor box will appear shows changes — Dave Mascia, Jul 03 '12 at 15:03
@DaveM: I don't see any changes. The way I would guess that you do it is by marking the repo that has been changed in the left hand column and the changed files would appear in the status-tab, like they do on a local repo. But they don't. — Himmators, Jul 03 '12 at 16:29
Possible to link me to a screen shot of what your looking at? — Dave Mascia, Jul 03 '12 at 16:31
Are those changes in a branch called "Tracks" in your local repo? — Himmators, Jul 03 '12 at 19:06
Local Branches are on top left and Remote Branches are in the middle.. That file is setting in Local Branch Tracks — Dave Mascia, Jul 03 '12 at 19:17

In Git, remote repositories are "bare" which means they don't have a working directory. Therefore, version-controlled changes can't be made in a remote repository.

Changes should only be made and committed in your local repository.
