Send changed files under Git via SCP (if SSH password auth)

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
  echo "$0 <git-commit>" 1>&2

Hi. I stumbled upon this accidentally, and just wanted to drop a link to similar, but more git-immersed solution: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14714851/2066118

Just stumbled upon this. FYI I have done a similar script and have published it at git-extras

Here's how the commands look like

Usage:
    git scp -h|help|?
    git scp <remote> [ref|file..]         # scp and stage your files to specified remote
    git scp <remote> [<ref>]              # show diff relative to <ref> and upload unstaged files to <remote>
    git rscp <remote> [<file|directory>]  # copy <remote> files to current working directory

Example:

# push all modified tracked files, unstaged
$ git scp web

# push all modified tracked files, including files that has been staged
$ git scp web HEAD

# push a single file
$ git scp web .gitignore

# push a directory
$ git scp web node_modules

# push files that are different between rc1.0.0 and current HEAD
$ git scp web rc1.0.0

for just a couple of files:
scp git ls-files -m user@ip:dir

one liner preserving directory structure: rsync -R $(git ls-files -m) user@ip:dir
