HG(1) ===== Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> :man source: Mercurial :man manual: Mercurial Manual NAME ---- hg - Mercurial source code management system SYNOPSIS -------- *hg* 'command' ['option']... ['argument']... DESCRIPTION ----------- The *hg* command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system. COMMAND ELEMENTS ---------------- files ...:: indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames; see "FILE NAME PATTERNS" for information on pattern matching path:: indicates a path on the local machine revision:: indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset revision number, a tag, or a unique substring of the changeset hash value repository path:: either the pathname of a local repository or the URI of a remote repository. include::hg.1.gendoc.txt[] FILES ----- `.hgignore`:: This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that describe file names that should be ignored by *hg*. For details, see *hgignore(5)*. `.hgtags`:: This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of the repository contents. `/etc/mercurial/hgrc`, `$HOME/.hgrc`, `.hg/hgrc`:: This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in `.hg/hgrc` override those in `$HOME/.hgrc`, and these override settings made in the global `/etc/mercurial/hgrc` configuration. See *hgrc(5)* for details of the contents and format of these files. Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in `.orig`, if the `.orig` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial, it will be overwritten. BUGS ---- Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (See Resources below) when you find them.
