Extensions may add new commands, add options to existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or implement hooks. To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file, like this: [extensions] foo = You may also specify the full path to an extension: [extensions] myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py See "hg help config" for more information on configuration files. Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons: they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as needed. To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of broader scope, prepend its path with !: [extensions] # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz baz = ! enabled extensions: children command to display child changesets (DEPRECATED) rebase command to move sets of revisions to a different ancestor disabled extensions: acl hooks for controlling repository access blackbox log repository events to a blackbox for debugging bugzilla hooks for integrating with the Bugzilla bug tracker churn command to display statistics about repository history color colorize output from some commands convert import revisions from foreign VCS repositories into Mercurial eol automatically manage newlines in repository files extdiff command to allow external programs to compare revisions factotum http authentication with factotum gpg commands to sign and verify changesets hgcia hooks for integrating with the CIA.vc notification service hgk browse the repository in a graphical way highlight syntax highlighting for hgweb (requires Pygments) histedit interactive history editing interhg expand expressions into changelog and summaries keyword expand keywords in tracked files largefiles track large binary files mq manage a stack of patches notify hooks for sending email push notifications pager browse command output with an external pager patchbomb command to send changesets as (a series of) patch emails progress show progress bars for some actions purge command to delete untracked files from the working directory record commands to interactively select changes for commit/qrefresh relink recreates hardlinks between repository clones schemes extend schemes with shortcuts to repository swarms share share a common history between several working directories shelve save and restore changes to the working directory strip strip changesets and their descendents from history transplant command to transplant changesets from another branch win32mbcs allow the use of MBCS paths with problematic encodings win32text perform automatic newline conversion zeroconf discover and advertise repositories on the local network Test short command list with verbose option $ hg -v help shortlist Mercurial Distributed SCM basic commands: add add the specified files on the next commit annotate, blame show changeset information by line for each file clone make a copy of an existing repository commit, ci commit the specified files or all outstanding changes diff diff repository (or selected files) export dump the header and diffs for one or more changesets forget forget the specified files on the next commit init create a new repository in the given directory log, history show revision history of entire repository or files merge merge working directory with another revision pull pull changes from the specified source push push changes to the specified destination remove, rm remove the specified files on the next commit serve start stand-alone webserver status, st show changed files in the working directory summary, sum summarize working directory state update, up, checkout, co update working directory (or switch revisions) global options: -R --repository REPO repository root directory or name of overlay bundle file --cwd DIR change working directory -y --noninteractive do not prompt, automatically pick the first choice for all prompts -q --quiet suppress output -v --verbose enable additional output --config CONFIG [+] set/override config option (use 'section.name=value') --debug enable debugging output --debugger start debugger --encoding ENCODE set the charset encoding (default: ascii) --encodingmode MODE set the charset encoding mode (default: strict) --traceback always print a traceback on exception --time time how long the command takes --profile print command execution profile --version output version information and exit -h --help display help and exit --hidden consider hidden changesets [+] marked option can be specified multiple times use "hg help" for the full list of commands $ hg add -h hg add [OPTION]...

([-c REV] | [-r REV1 [-r REV2]]) [FILE]... diff repository (or selected files) Show differences between revisions for the specified files. Differences between files are shown using the unified diff format. Note: diff may generate unexpected results for merges, as it will default to comparing against the working directory's first parent changeset if no revisions are specified. When two revision arguments are given, then changes are shown between those revisions. If only one revision is specified then that revision is compared to the working directory, and, when no revisions are specified, the working directory files are compared to its parent. Alternatively you can specify -c/--change with a revision to see the changes in that changeset relative to its first parent. Without the -a/--text option, diff will avoid generating diffs of files it detects as binary. With -a, diff will generate a diff anyway, probably with undesirable results. Use the -g/--git option to generate diffs in the git extended diff format. For more information, read "hg help diffs". Returns 0 on success. options: -r --rev REV [+] revision -c --change REV change made by revision -a --text treat all files as text -g --git use git extended diff format --nodates omit dates from diff headers -p --show-function show which function each change is in --reverse produce a diff that undoes the changes -w --ignore-all-space ignore white space when comparing lines -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space -B --ignore-blank-lines ignore changes whose lines are all blank -U --unified NUM number of lines of context to show --stat output diffstat-style summary of changes -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns -S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories [+] marked option can be specified multiple times use "hg -v help diff" to show more complete help and the global options $ hg help status hg status [OPTION]... [FILE]... aliases: st show changed files in the working directory Show status of files in the repository. If names are given, only files that match are shown. Files that are clean or ignored or the source of a copy/move operation, are not listed unless -c/--clean, -i/--ignored, -C/--copies or -A/--all are given. Unless options described with "show only ..." are given, the options -mardu are used. Option -q/--quiet hides untracked (unknown and ignored) files unless explicitly requested with -u/--unknown or -i/--ignored. Note: status may appear to disagree with diff if permissions have changed or a merge has occurred. The standard diff format does not report permission changes and diff only reports changes relative to one merge parent. If one revision is given, it is used as the base revision. If two revisions are given, the differences between them are shown. The --change option can also be used as a shortcut to list the changed files of a revision from its first parent. The codes used to show the status of files are: M = modified A = added R = removed C = clean ! = missing (deleted by non-hg command, but still tracked) ? = not tracked I = ignored = origin of the previous file listed as A (added) Returns 0 on success. options: -A --all show status of all files -m --modified show only modified files -a --added show only added files -r --removed show only removed files -d --deleted show only deleted (but tracked) files -c --clean show only files without changes -u --unknown show only unknown (not tracked) files -i --ignored show only ignored files -n --no-status hide status prefix -C --copies show source of copied files -0 --print0 end filenames with NUL, for use with xargs --rev REV [+] show difference from revision --change REV list the changed files of a revision -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns -S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories [+] marked option can be specified multiple times use "hg -v help status" to show more complete help and the global options $ hg -q help status hg status [OPTION]...

A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, -2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth. A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision identifier. A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix of exactly one full-length identifier. Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character. The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision. The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0. The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first parent. Test templating help $ hg help templating | egrep '(desc|diffstat|firstline|nonempty) ' desc String. The text of the changeset description. diffstat String. Statistics of changes with the following format: firstline Any text. Returns the first line of text. nonempty Any text. Returns '(none)' if the string is empty.

Schedule the indicated files for removal from the current branch.

This command schedules the files to be removed at the next commit. To undo a remove before that, see "hg revert". To undo added files, see "hg forget".

-A/--after can be used to remove only files that have already been deleted, -f/--force can be used to force deletion, and -Af can be used to remove files from the next revision without deleting them from the working directory.

The following table details the behavior of remove for different file states (columns) and option combinations (rows). The file states are Added [A], Clean [C], Modified [M] and Missing [!] (as reported by "hg status"). The actions are Warn, Remove (from branch) and Delete (from disk):

opt/state A C M !
none W RD W R
-f R RD RD R
-A W W W R
-Af R R R R

Note that remove never deletes files in Added [A] state from the working directory, not even if option --force is specified.

Returns 0 on success, 1 if any warnings encountered.

options:

-A --after record delete for missing files
-f --force remove (and delete) file even if added or modified
-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns

[+] marked option can be specified multiple times

global options:

-R --repository REPO repository root directory or name of overlay bundle file
--cwd DIR change working directory
-y --noninteractive do not prompt, automatically pick the first choice for all prompts
-q --quiet suppress output
-v --verbose enable additional output
--config CONFIG [+] set/override config option (use 'section.name=value')
--debug enable debugging output
--debugger start debugger
--encoding ENCODE set the charset encoding (default: ascii)
--encodingmode MODE set the charset encoding mode (default: strict)
--traceback always print a traceback on exception
--time time how long the command takes
--profile print command execution profile
--version output version information and exit
-h --help display help and exit

Specifying Single Revisions

Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.

A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, -2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.

A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision identifier.

A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix of exactly one full-length identifier.

Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character.

The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.

The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.

The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first parent.
