fin: Display logs of a specific container and follow the log.
$ fin logs -f ${container_name}
try on your machine
This command is likely used in a Docker environment for viewing the logs of a specific container. Let's break it down:
fin
is likely an alias or short form for thedocker-compose
command, which is a utility for managing multiple Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yaml file.logs
is a Docker command that shows the logs of one or more containers.-f
is an option that makes the command behave like thetail -f
command, continuously streaming the logs rather than displaying them once and exiting.${container_name}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the container you want to watch its logs.
So, when the command fin logs -f ${container_name}
is executed, it will continuously stream the logs of the specified container, allowing you to see any new log entries as they happen.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
