Help: status

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

aliases: st

show changed files in the working directory

Show status of files in the repository. If names are given, only files that match are shown. Files that are clean or ignored or the source of a copy/move operation, are not listed unless -c/--clean, -i/--ignored, -C/--copies or -A/--all are given. Unless options described with "show only ..." are given, the options -mardu are used.

Option -q/--quiet hides untracked (unknown and ignored) files unless explicitly requested with -u/--unknown or -i/--ignored.

Note: 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.

If one revision is given, it is used as the base revision. If two revisions are given, 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 listed as A (added)

Examples:

  • show changes in the working directory relative to a changeset:
    hg status --rev 9353
    
  • 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
    

Returns 0 on success.

options:

-A --all show status of all files
-m --modified show only modified files
-a --added show only added files
-r --removed show only removed files
-d --deleted show only deleted (but tracked) files
-c --clean show only files without changes
-u --unknown show only unknown (not tracked) files
-i --ignored show only ignored files
