# overlane repo events

{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate.mjs (CLI pages from the command registry in packages/cli). Do not edit; run `pnpm --filter @overlane/docs gen`. */}

Lists the repository's ordered events (pushes, branch creates and deletes, forced updates) with the commits before and after and who did it. Use --after with the last sequence you saw to read only what is new.

## Usage

```sh
overlane repo events repo [--after SEQUENCE]
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `repo` | yes | The repository name or ID |

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--after` | string | no |  | Only events after this sequence number (default 0) |

## Examples

```sh
overlane repo events app
overlane repo events app --after 40 --json
```

## Behavior

- Effect: `read` (changes nothing).
- Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
- Supports `--dry-run`: no. Accepts `--force`: no.
- Machine-readable description: `overlane schema repo events`.

## Result

With `--json` (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema's shape on stdout.
