try on your machine

The command you provided is using the gh command-line tool, which is the official GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface). This specific command is used within a GitHub Codespace environment to copy a file from your local environment to a remote location.

Let's break down the command:

gh codespace cp: This is the command itself, which instructs the GitHub CLI to copy a file.

${path-to-source_file}: This is a placeholder variable that represents the path to the source file on your local environment. You need to replace ${path-to-source_file} with the actual path to the source file you want to copy.

remote:${path-to-remote_file}: This is the destination where you want to copy the file. ${path-to-remote_file} is another placeholder variable that represents the path to the remote file location. You need to replace ${path-to-remote_file} with the actual path to the remote file and provide the appropriate remote file destination prefix (remote:).

To use this command, you'll need to substitute the placeholder variables with the appropriate paths to the source file on your local environment and the remote file location.
