([-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".

[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 revision of that 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.

Help: add

hg add [OPTION]... [FILE]...

add the specified files on the next commit

Schedule files to be version controlled and added to the repository.

The files will be added to the repository at the next commit. To undo an add before that, see "hg forget".

If no names are given, add all files to the repository.

An example showing how new (unknown) files are added automatically by "hg add":

  \$ ls (re)
  foo.c
  \$ hg status (re)
  ? foo.c
  \$ hg add (re)
  adding foo.c
  \$ hg status (re)
  A foo.c
  

Returns 0 if all files are successfully added.

options:

-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
-S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories
-n --dry-run do not perform actions, just print output

[+] 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

Help: remove

hg remove [OPTION]... FILE...

aliases: rm

remove the specified files on the next commit

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):

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

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 revision of that 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.
