trace

Show the git commands the last loom command ran — the first thing to look at when a command fails, and to attach to a bug report.

Usage

git loom trace

What It Does

Loom records each git command it runs — arguments, duration, failures, git’s error output, and the rebase steps it generated — for every command except show and diff, including actions run from the TUI. trace prints the latest record.

continue and abort add to the record of the command they resume, so the trace shows the whole operation.

The last 10 records are kept in .git/loom/logs/.

Example
