HG(STATUS)

✨ NAME ✨

hg status — bestie, this is the one that shows you the changed files in your working directory 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

hg status [OPTION]... [FILE]...

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, hg status shows you the status of the files in your repository. If you pass in some names, only the files that match get shown. Files that are clean, or ignored, or that are the source of a copy/move operation — they do NOT show up unless you hand it -c/--clean, -i/--ignored, -C/--copies or -A/--all. And unless you use one of the options described as "show only ...", the options -mardu are the ones in play. Periodt.

Option -q/--quiet hides untracked (unknown and ignored) files, unless you explicitly ask for them with -u/--unknown or -i/--ignored.

Heads up, bestie: hg 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. That's just how it is, no cap.

If you give one revision, it's used as the base revision. If you give two revisions, 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 (with --copies)

The -t/--terse option abbreviates the output by showing only the directory name if all the files in it share the same status. The option takes an argument indicating the statuses to abbreviate: 'm' for 'modified', 'a' for 'added', 'r' for 'removed', 'd' for 'deleted', 'u' for 'unknown', 'i' for 'ignored' and 'c' for clean.

It abbreviates only those statuses which are passed. Note that clean and ignored files are not displayed with '--terse ic' unless the -c/--clean and -i/--ignored options are also used. iykyk 🌸

The -v/--verbose option shows information when the repository is in an unfinished merge, shelve, rebase state etc. You can have this behavior turned on by default by enabling the commands.status.verbose option.

You can skip displaying some of these states by setting commands.status.skipstates to one or more of: 'bisect', 'graft', 'histedit', 'merge', 'rebase', or 'unshelve'.

💅 Template 💅

The following keywords are supported in addition to the common template keywords and functions. See also hg help templates.

• path — String. Repository-absolute path of the file.
• source — String. Repository-absolute path of the file originated from. Available if --copies is specified.
• status — String. Character denoting file's status.

⭐ Examples ⭐

• show changes in the working directory relative to a changeset:

hg status --rev 9353

• show changes in the working directory relative to the current directory (see hg help patterns for more information):

hg status re:

• show all changes including copies in an existing changeset:

hg status --copies --change 9353

• get a NUL separated list of added files, suitable for xargs:

hg status -an0

• show more information about the repository status, abbreviating added, removed, modified, deleted, and untracked paths:

hg status -v -t mardu

Returns 0 on success. 👑
