NAME

       gh-codespace-cp - Copy files between local and remote file systems

SYNOPSIS

       gh codespace cp [-e] [-r] <sources>... <dest>

DESCRIPTION

       The cp command copies files between the local and remote file systems.

       As  with  the  UNIX  cp  command,  the  first  argument  specifies the source and the last
       specifies the destination; additional sources may be specified after  the  first,  if  the
       destination is a directory.

       The --recursive flag is required if any source is a directory.

       A  "remote:"  prefix on any file name argument indicates that it refers to the file system
       of the remote (Codespace) machine. It is resolved relative to the home  directory  of  the
       remote user.

       By default, remote file names are interpreted literally. With the --expand flag, each such
       argument is treated in the manner of scp, as a Bash expression  to  be  evaluated  on  the
       remote  machine, subject to expansion of tildes, braces, globs, environment variables, and
       backticks. For security, do not use this flag with arguments provided by untrusted  users;
       see https://lwn.net/Articles/835962/ ⟨https://lwn.net/Articles/835962/⟩ for discussion.
