hg-log: Display the revision history for a specific branch.
$ hg log --branch ${branch}
try on your machine

This command is a Mercurial (Hg) command used to display the commit history of a specific branch named ${branch}.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • hg log: This is the main command to view the commit history in Mercurial. It displays a list of all the commits made in the repository.
  • --branch: This is an option used to filter the commit history based on a particular branch. It allows you to limit the log output to only show the commits from a specified branch.
  • ${branch}: This is a placeholder indicating that you should replace it with the actual name of the branch you want to view the commit history for. For example, if you have a branch named "feature-branch", you would substitute ${branch} with "feature-branch".

When you execute this command, it will show you the commit history for the specified branch, including information like the commit hash, author, timestamp, commit message, and any related changesets.
