Hi all,
I am back after a long time. Many of you have been using HG / Mercurial for repository work. So here goes the list of commands that I find useful and handy:
[ui]
username = swati <swati.srivastava@gmail.com>
$ hg clone <repo url>
-- Clone from a URL
$ hg st
-- Get the status/list of all uncommitted changes
$ hg st -a
-- Get the status/list of all added files
$ hg st -m
-- Get the status/list of all modified files
$ hg st -r
-- Get the status/list of all removed files
$ hg heads
-- Get the list of all heads
$ hg tip
-- Get the latest revision of the current branch
$ hg addremove
-- Adds new files and removes the deleted files from your file system
$ hg commit -m "commit message"
-- Commit the data/files with a message
$ hg pull

$ hg update

$ hg update tip
-- Updates the working copy with the latest code of the tip
$ hg update -r <revision no>

$ hg merge
-- Merge the code
$ hg revert
-- Undo / Discard all the uncommitted changes
$ hg strip <changeset>
-- Srips / removes the particular changeset. This may lead to error
hg : unknown command named strip
'strip' is provided by the following extension mq : manage stack of patches
Solution: open .hgrc file and write
[extensions]
mq =
$ hg rollback
-- Rollbacks an accidental commit
$ hg diff -r<revision 1> -r<revision 2>
-- Provides difference between 2 revisions
$ hg help
