show the history of the checked out commit or a bookmark
Show the history of all the commits that were once the current commit. In
other words, shows a list of your previously checked out commits.
sl journal can be used to find older versions of commits (for example,
when you want to revert to a previous state). It can also be used to
discover commits that were previously hidden.
By default, sl journal displays the history of the current commit. To
display a list of commits pointed to by a bookmark, specify a bookmark
name.
Specify --all to show the history of both the current commit and all
bookmarks. In the output for --all, bookmarks are listed by name, and
. indicates the current commit.
Specify -Tjson to produce machine-readable output.
By default, sl journal only shows the commit hash and the
corresponding command. Specify --verbose to also include the
previous commit hash, user, and timestamp.
Use -c/--commits to output log information about each commit
hash. To customize the log output, you can also specify switches
like --patch, git, --stat, and --template.
If a bookmark name starts with re:, the remainder of the name
is treated as a regular expression. To match a name that actually
starts with re:, use the prefix literal:.
