hg.MD

Mercurial notes in no particular order

• Delete untracked files from working directory.
  hg purge

• To delete just the '.orig' files (which accumulate after merging)
  hg purge -I **/*.orig --all

• Limit log to last X commits
  hg log --limit <X>

• Limit log to only a specific named branch
  hg log --only-branch <name>

• Move a bookmark to a different changeset
  hg bookmark --rev <changeset> <bookmark name>

• Similar to git stash
  hg shelve and hg unshelve

• Similar to git cherrypick hg graft <changeset>

• Rollback last action
  hg rollback

• Discard changes in a specific file (similar to git checkout )
  hg revert <filename>

• Pushing changes
  hg outgoing shows what will be pushed
  hg push pushes all changes on all branches by default (but doesn't push bookmarks)
  hg push -b <branch> pushes named branch only
  hg push -B <bookmark> push named bookmark
  hg push --new-branch> needed if your push will create a new named branch

• Merging to @ and closing a branch

hg update @
hg merge my_branch
hg commit -m "Merge in @"
hg update my_branch
hg commit -m "Close branch my_branch" --close-branch
hg push

• Stripping commits
  ```hg strip `` removes a changeset and any descendents
  Has no effect if already pushed; if you push a commit that needs to be stripped, you need to have everyone who's pulled that commit strip locally, then strip on bitbucket.

• Reverting a strip
  Mercurial saves backups here: <REPO>/.hg/strip-backup/
  To recover the stripped commit:
  hg unbundle .hg/strip-backup/99aae0c100b3-9d930854-backup.hg
