hg-identify(1)

Usage

hg identify [-nibtB] [-r REV] [SOURCE]

Overview

Print a summary identifying the repository state at REV using one or two parent hash identifiers, followed by a "+" if the working directory has uncommitted changes, the branch name (if not default), a list of tags, and a list of bookmarks.

When REV is not given, print a summary of the current state of the repository including the working directory. Specify -r. to get information of the working directory parent without scanning uncommitted changes.

Specifying a path to a repository root or Mercurial bundle will cause lookup to operate on that repository/bundle.

Template:

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

dirty: String. Character + denoting if the working directory has uncommitted changes.

id: String. One or two nodes, optionally followed by +.

parents

List of strings. Parent nodes of the changeset.

Examples:

•: generate a build identifier for the working directory:

hg id --id > build-id.dat

•: find the revision corresponding to a tag:

hg id -n -r 1.3

•

check the most recent revision of a remote repository:

hg id -r tip https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/

See hg log for generating more information about specific revisions, including full hash identifiers.

Returns 0 if successful.
