Is `Keep Remote Directory up to Date` option for the .git folder OK?

Hello,

I would like to ask about the workflow.

I work with a project with the "Keep Remote Directory up to Date" WinSCP option. This gives me a good solution for working with local files using my favorite tools and the effect of working directly with remote files.

If we talk about favorite tools i mean GIT, and here is the question.
Is `Keep Remote Directory up to Date` option for the .git folder OK?

Is there any unusual risk associated with `.git` folder synchronization?
Or maybe do you have any better idea?

I am looking for the best way to work with git repository in VSCode & with files in WinSCP. That why i ask about it.

I'll be thankful for any advice

It seems like an overkill for me. Shouldn't you use git push over SSH git remote, instead of WinSCP?

Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous.
I'm just looking for a method that I can work with only the remote enviroment.
Git push is not a solution because all files are already updated because I use `Keep Remote Directory up to Date`.
Anyway thank you for answer

It should work. But I wouldn't do it.

I am doing the same thing and I have to use WINscp because I can't get the SSH connection to work reliably in git. So it is nice to know "it should work" and I really don't care if it overkill but I don't want to mess up the git repository so can you explain why you would not do this?
Thank You

This is Git question rather than WinSCP question. Consider asking of Stack Overflow or similar site. Please, post a link here if you do.
