On Android, you can install Termux then run above commands so you don't even need a WiFi or hosting it online, it would run locally with 127.0.0.1 IP address.

How can I root my phone to use termux, when I created folders on termux, I would not see it on my phone. I tried couple of videos but I'm still not able to do it.

I will be grateful for your help

I'd also recommend Hacker's Keyboard for Android. It provides a full keyboard keyset (modifier keys, function keys, navigation keys, ext). SSHing with Termux is a lot more easier when you can make use of your keyboard shortcuts.

True, but this method of hosting server on PC can help you edit PC files.
Reverse can be done if hosted from phone.

This is not an issue if you are using Git.
