The regular hg log
command gives output with at least 4 lines per changeset. For example
changeset: 238:03a214f2a1cf user: My Name <[email protected]> date: Thu Aug 26 09:49:32 2010 +0200 summary: Added tag v1.1 for changeset f22fd3974361
I mean to remember that there was a command to print a log in a more compact way what just had one line per changeset. A format that you could basically stick in a changelog.txt file and it would look nice.
Does that exist? Or am I mixing this with something I have seen with git or something else?
Pull changes from the Mercurial upstream (Pull)From the main menu, choose Hg | Mercurial | Pull. Specify the required URL address of the source remote repository.
The hg command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system.
Description. Update the repository's working directory to the specified changeset. If no changeset is specified, update to the tip of the current named branch and move the active bookmark (see hg help bookmarks). Update sets the working directory's parent revision to the specified changeset (see hg help parents).
You can use hg log
with a --template option, e.g.:
hg log --template '{node|short} | {date|isodatesec} | {author|user}: {desc|strip|firstline}\n'
This should show something like this (example from the GNU Emacs trunk I converted locally to an hg repository):
$ hg log --limit 5 --template '{node|short} | {date|isodatesec} | {author|user}: {desc|strip|firstline}\n' 36ab2e3f8ebd | 2010-09-08 16:54:00 +0200 | agustin: textmodes/ispell.el (ispell-valid-dictionary-list): Simplify logic. 9f3ac6d4a645 | 2010-09-08 16:42:54 +0200 | michael: Migrate to Tramp 2.2. Rearrange load dependencies. 8c696d2a7695 | 2010-09-07 20:01:23 +0200 | agustin: Make sure original ispell arg list is initialized in (ispell-start-process). b5f110747072 | 2010-09-07 06:23:16 +0000 | yamaoka: gnus-html.el (gnus-html-wash-tags, gnus-html-put-image): Mark cid and internal images as deletable by `W D D'. b53cfb7d099e | 2010-09-07 01:20:19 +0000 | yamaoka: gnus-async.el (gnus-html-prefetch-images): Autoload it when compiling; (gnus-async-article-callback): Fix typo. $
Once you have a nice template for one-line summaries of changesets, you can add a command alias in your ~/.hgrc
file like this:
[alias] shortlog = log --template '{node|short} | {date|isodatesec} | {author|user}: {desc|strip|firstline}\n'
With the alias installed you can now type hg shortlog
, hg short
or even hg shor
(to uniquely identify hg shortlog
instead of hg showconfig
) and all the usual `log' command-options. For instance it should now be possible to type:
$ hg short -r 100:103 db9f8efcf689 | 1990-09-14 19:07:14 +0000 | jimb: *** empty log message *** 5874bf15e07d | 1990-09-19 18:22:41 +0000 | gnulists: Initial revision 797d304414fd | 1990-09-27 21:17:59 +0000 | mtr: Initial revision b2656b7830e4 | 1990-10-09 02:52:33 +0000 | rms: *** empty log message *** $
or even things that use tag names (example from the mercurial crew repository itself):
keramida@kobe:/hg/mercurial/crew$ hg short -r 1.4 -r 1.5 -r 1.6 31ec469f9b55 | 2009-11-16 21:25:36 +0100 | mg: i18n-ja: fixed bad indentation ff2704a8ded3 | 2010-03-05 17:24:52 -0600 | mpm: mq: drop -Q in favor of --mq only f786fc4b8764 | 2010-06-29 12:12:34 +0200 | mads: log: follow filenames through renames (issue647) keramida@kobe:/hg/mercurial/crew$
