See the commands run

Every action you take in Merathon is written to the operation log, with the Git command that does the same thing. It is a way to learn the command line while using the interface, and to understand what happened when something goes wrong.

What it does

Each action in the application is logged with the equivalent git command.

A use case

You want to learn the command matching what you just did, or find an error.

On the command line

GIT_TRACE=1 git <command>
Outside Merathon, shows what Git runs internally.
git reflog
The history of HEAD's positions: what you have done recently in the repository.

In Merathon

  1. Open the bottom panel (Ctrl+J) then the "Log" tab.

Frequently asked questions

Does the log send data anywhere?

No: it stays in the application, on your machine.
