hg-serve:tldr:d0262

hg-serve: Start a web server instance with a specific identifier.

$ hg serve --name ${name}

try on your machine

The command "hg serve --name ${name}" is used in the Mercurial (hg) version control system to start a local web server that allows others to access and browse the repositories stored on your computer. Here is an explanation of the different parts of the command:

"hg serve": This is the main command that instructs Mercurial to start the server.
"--name": This is an option or flag that is used to specify the name of the server. The name can be anything you choose to identify your server.
"${name}": This is a placeholder or variable that needs to be replaced with the actual name you want to give to your server. It allows you to provide a custom name for your server each time you execute the command.

Overall, this command starts the Mercurial server and assigns a specific name to it, allowing others to access your repositories by connecting to the server using its name.
