ostree: Show list of commits.
$ ostree log --repo ${path-to-repo} ${branch_name}
try on your machine

The command "ostree log --repo ${path-to-repo} ${branch_name}" is used to view the commit log of a specific branch in an OSTree repository.

Here is how to understand each part of the command:

  • "ostree log": This is the main command that is used to view the commit log.
  • "--repo ${path-to-repo}": This option is used to specify the path to the OSTree repository. ${path-to-repo} should be replaced with the actual path to the repository in your system.
  • "${branch_name}": This is the name of the branch for which you want to view the commit log. ${branch_name} should be replaced with the actual name of the branch.

In summary, the command allows you to see the commit history of a specific branch in an OSTree repository located at the specified path.
