# List Tags By Pattern
jj tag {{[l|list]}} --sort committer-date- "{{pattern}}" import subprocess
# List Tags By Pattern
# Make sure to replace <placeholders> with actual values
def run_command():
cmd = [
"jj",
"tag",
"l",
"--sort",
"committer-date-",
"\"<pattern>\""
]
try:
print(f"Executing: {' '.join(cmd)}")
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
