hg-serve:tldr:ad376

hg-serve: Start a web server instance using the specified SSL certificate bundle.
$ hg serve --certificate ${path-to-certificate}
try on your machine

The command "hg serve --certificate ${path-to-certificate}" is used to start a Mercurial server that uses a specified SSL/TLS certificate for secure communication.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "hg serve": This is the command to start the Mercurial server, which allows others to access and interact with your Mercurial repository.
  • "--certificate": This option is used to specify the SSL/TLS certificate that should be used for secure communication.
  • "${path-to-certificate}": This is a placeholder that represents the path to the desired certificate file on the file system. You need to provide the actual path to your certificate file.

By running this command, the Mercurial server will start, and it will use the specified SSL/TLS certificate for secure communication, ensuring that the data exchanged between the server and clients is encrypted and secure.
