try on your machine

This command uses the git scp command to copy a file from a remote Git repository to your local machine. Here is a breakdown of the command:

git scp: It is a built-in Git command used to securely copy files between local and remote repositories over SSH.
${remote_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the remote repository. You should replace it with the actual name of the remote repository you want to copy the file from.
HEAD~1: This specifies the commit identifier or reference from which you want to copy the file. In this command, HEAD~1 refers to the previous commit relative to the current commit. If you need to copy a file from a different commit, you can replace HEAD~1 with the appropriate commit identifier or reference.

Overall, the command allows you to retrieve a specific file from a remote Git repository, using the git scp command, by specifying the remote repository name and the commit from which you want to fetch the file.
