✨ mercurial-tagversion ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the mercurial-tagversion(1) page — it's a User Commands situation and it's lowkey one of the most useful little tools in the whole Mercurial packaging family, fr fr 💖

---

💅 NAME 💅

mercurial-tagversion — tag the Mercurial package source with the most recent version from the changelog.

like. it literally reads your changelog and slaps the version on your repo. iconic behavior. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mercurial-tagversion [option] ...

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options go in, tags come out. ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea, bestie: mercurial-tagversion extracts the most recent version from debian/changelog, and then tags the Mercurial repository with that version.

That's the whole job. It reads the changelog, it finds the newest version number, it tags your repo. No cap. 🎀

---

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• --version, -V — prints out the version and then dips. exits right after, she's done. 👋
• --verbose, -v — turns the verbosity up. and yes, you can stack it — use it several times for extra yapping. 📢
• --ignore-uncommited, -i — skips the check for uncommited changes in the Mercurial repository. (yes, it's spelled uncommited in the option name, don't come for me, that's literally what it is 💀)
• --force, -f — overwrites an existing tag if there is one. she said move, I'm tagging anyway. 🔥
