The command "arc list" is commonly used in the context of version control systems. It is specific to the Arcanist tool, which is a command-line interface for Phabricator, a suite of web-based software development collaboration tools.
When you run the "arc list" command, it lists the changes that have been made in your local working directory. It provides you with an overview of all the modified, added, and deleted files since your last commit or since the branch was created. This information can be useful to review and keep track of the status of your changes before committing or pushing them to a remote repository.
The command provides a detailed summary for each file, including its current status, path, and relevant information like the number of added or deleted lines. It helps you identify which files are ready for commit, which ones need further changes, or which ones should be ignored.
Overall, the "arc list" command helps developers manage their working directory, understand the status of their changes, and make informed decisions before proceeding with version control operations.
