The command "scrcpy --serial ${select}" is a command used to connect and control an Android device from a computer via USB.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "scrcpy" is the name of the command-line tool used to display and control an Android device on a computer.
- "--serial" is an option that specifies the device to connect, using its serial number.
- "${select}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual serial number of the Android device you want to connect to. The serial number is a unique identifier assigned to each Android device.
By running this command with the correct serial number, the scrcpy tool will establish a connection between the computer and the specified Android device, enabling you to view and interact with the device's screen on the computer monitor, control it using the mouse and keyboard, and even copy files between the computer and the device.
