# `mix surfex.log`
[🔗](https://github.com/dcoai/surfex/blob/v0.6.2/lib/mix/tasks/surfex.log.ex#L1)

Looks after the relation log in `.surfex/` (`Surfex.Log`).

    mix surfex.log --init      # create it, and the union merge in .gitattributes
    mix surfex.log --break     # close the open segment and start a new one
    mix surfex.log --verify    # report every edited line, missing parent or broken chain
    mix surfex.log --rechain   # rewrite segment headers after a merge combined segments

Entries are recorded by the recording commands, never by hand. This task never edits
or removes one.
