💖 hg verify — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, you found the HG(VERIFY) page in the manual, and honestly? this one is a little wellness check for your repo. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

hg verify — verify the integrity of the repository 🩺

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

hg verify

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, this verifies the integrity of the current repository. it's the vibe check your repo has been lowkey dreading. 🙈

this performs an extensive check of the repository's integrity, and like… it's thorough. it validates the hashes and checksums of each entry in the changelog, manifest, and tracked files, plus the integrity of their crosslinks and indices. she's checking everything, fr fr. 💅

if you need the whole lore on what to do when a repo is corrupted and how to recover from it, please see https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/RepositoryCorruption. bookmarked it for you, you're welcome. 🎀

and hey — if you want an alternative UI with a lot more control over the verification process and better error reporting, try hg help admin::verify. she's the main character version of this. 👑

returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered. that's the whole mood.

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• --full — perform more checks (EXPERIMENTAL) 🔥

heads up bestie: --full is marked EXPERIMENTAL, so treat it like a new aesthetic — cute, but she might surprise you. 💀

and that's the page!! the whole thing lives under the HG(VERIFY) manual, and yes, the footer says HG(VERIFY) too, so this one's a matching set top and bottom. slay. 🫶💖✨
