Push log entries show:

If you want to see a detailed history of changes to a repository, you can use the activity view. The activity view displays all pushes, merges, force pushes, and branch changes, and associates these changes with commits and authenticated users. For more information, see "Using the activity view to see changes to a repository."

If you use a cluster, you can SSH into any node. Replace HOSTNAME with the hostname for your instance, or the hostname or IP address of a node. For more information, see "Accessing the administrative shell (SSH)."
