Installation

You must have npm installed in order to install this script.

Basic installation

npm install -g git-remote-copy

And use it like

git-remote-copy https://github.com/kujo205/kujo205/blob/main/README.md .

or you can also add it as git alias, which looks cooler.

Adding command as git alias

Then enter your global git config file by running

 git config --global --edit

Modify this file in the editor of your choice (I use vim, please check some guide if you struuggle with this). And add the line

  copy = "!git-remote-copy"

to alias area

After this you can use this command as if it is default git command
