The git cola
command is used to launch the Git GUI tool called "Git Cola". The --prompt
option, when provided with the command, instructs Git Cola to display a prompt before exiting.
By default, when you close Git Cola, it simply closes the application without any prompts or warnings. But using the --prompt
option, Git Cola will display a confirmation prompt asking for your confirmation before closing the application. This can help prevent accidental closure of the application.
For example, if you execute the command git cola --prompt
in the command line, Git Cola will open its graphical interface. And when you try to close Git Cola, a confirmation prompt will appear asking "Are you sure you want to quit?" or something similar, giving you the option to either confirm the exit or cancel it.
