git-scp: Copy staged and unstaged files to a remote.

$ git scp ${remote_name} HEAD

try on your machine

This command uses the git tool to transfer a file from a remote repository to the local repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

git: This is the command-line tool for version control. It is used to manage and track changes to source code and other files.
scp: This is a subcommand of git that stands for "secure copy". It is used to copy files between different repositories.
${remote_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the remote repository. The remote name is typically set up when configuring the repository using git remote add command.
HEAD: This is a reference to the latest commit in the current branch of the local repository. It represents the most recent snapshot of the code.

When you run this command, git will use the scp subcommand to copy the file associated with the latest commit (HEAD) from the specified remote repository (${remote_name}) to your local repository.
