ostree: Show metadata of commit.
$ ostree show --repo ${path-to-repo} ${commit_id}
try on your machine

The command "ostree show --repo ${path-to-repo} ${commit_id}" is used to display information about a specific commit in an OSTree repository.

Here is a breakdown of this command:

  • "ostree show": This is the command used to display information about OSTree objects.
  • "--repo ${path-to-repo}": This option specifies the path to the OSTree repository. You need to replace "${path-to-repo}" with the actual path to the repository you want to inspect.
  • "${commit_id}": This is the identifier of the commit you want to display information for. You need to replace "${commit_id}" with the actual commit ID.

When you run this command, it will access the specified OSTree repository and retrieve information about the commit with the provided commit ID. This information typically includes details about the commit, like the tree structure, commit message, author, and timestamp.
