hg-serve:tldr:b6b42

hg-serve: Start a web server instance on the specified listening address.
$ hg serve --address ${address}
try on your machine

The command "hg serve --address ${address}" is a command that you can use in the Mercurial distributed version control system.

  • "hg serve" is a command that starts a built-in web server that allows you to browse and interact with your repository using a web browser.
  • "--address" is an option you can use to specify the network address at which the web server should be accessible.
  • "${address}" is a placeholder that you would replace with the actual network address, such as an IP address or a domain name.

For example, if you want to start the web server and make it accessible at the IP address "192.168.1.100", you would run the command "hg serve --address 192.168.1.100". This will start the web server, and you can then open your web browser and visit "http://192.168.1.100:8000" to access the repository interface.
