About Hg

Overview

Integrated Mercurial source control

Prerequisites

Note: This extension leverages your machine's Mercurial (hg) installation, so you need to install Mercurial first.

Features

• Add files and commit from the source control side-bar (i.e. where git normally appears). • All the basics: commit, add, forget, update, push and pull. • See changes inline within text editor. • Interactive log for basic file history and diff. • Branch, merge heads, merge with branch, resolve + unresolve files. • Quickly switch branches, push and pull via status bar. • Supports named-branches or bookmark workflows. • Automatic incoming/outgoing counters. • Undo/rollback. • Shelve/Unshelve support. • Purge support. • Rebase support. • Show annotation for current line or for whole file.

Feedback & Contributing

• Please report any bugs, suggestions or documentation requests via the Github issues (_yes_, I see the irony). • Feel free to submit pull requests.

Initialize a new repo

• Just click the Mercurial icon from the source control title area:

Update to a branch/tag/bookmark

• The current branch name is shown in the bottom-left corner. • Click it to see a list of branches and tags that you can update to. • When hg.useBookmarks is enabled, this changes to bookmarks.

Settings

hg.enabled { boolean }

• Enables Hg as a source control manager in VS Code.

hg.useBookmarks { boolean }

• Choose between bookmarks vs. named-branches: "false" — named-branches mode (default) "true" — bookmarks mode

hg.pushPullScope { all | current | default }

• Specifies what to include in Push/Pull operations. • Depends on the choice of hg.useBookmarks. • For named-branches mode: (i.e. hg.useBookmarks = false) "all" — all branches / unrestricted (this is the default) "current" — only includes changesets for the current branch "default" — only includes changesets for the _default_ branch • For bookmarks mode: (i.e. hg.useBookmarks = true) "all" — all bookmarks / unrestricted (this is the default) "current" — only includes changesets for the active bookmark "default" — only includes changesets for bookmarks on the _default_ branch

hg.pushPullBranch _DEPRECATED_ { all | current | default }

• Use hg.pushPullScope instead. • Specifies which branch(es) should be included in Push/Pull operations. • Included only for backwards compatibility.

hg.autoUpdate { boolean }

• Enables automatic update of working directory to branch/bookmark head after pulling (equivalent to hg pull --update) "true" — enabled "false" — disabled, manual update/merge required

hg.autoInOut { boolean }

• Enables automatic counting of incoming/outgoing changes. • When enabled, these show in the status bar. • Updated every 3 minutes, or whenever a commit/push/pull is done. • Note: when hg.pushPullBranch is set to "current" or "default" then only the respective branch will be included in the counts.

hg.autoRefresh { boolean }

• Enables automatic refreshing of Source Control tab and badge counter when files within the project change: "true" — enabled "false" — disabled, manual refresh still available.

hg.countBadge { tracked | all | off }

• Controls the badge counter for Source Control in the activity bar: "tracked" — only count changes to tracked files (default). "all" — include untracked files in count. "off" — no badge counter.

hg.allowPushNewBranches { boolean }

• Overrides the warning that normally occurs when a new branch is pushed: "true" — new branches are pushed without warning (default). "false" — shows a prompt when new branches are being pushed (e.g hg push --new-branch)

hg.path { string | null }

• Specifies an explicit hg file path to use. • This should only be used if hg cannot be found automatically. • The default behaviour is to search for hg in commonly-known install locations and on the PATH.

hg.commandMode

• Controls the method used to communicate with hg. • There is a slight start-up performance cost with repeatedly running hg commands. • Running a command server process in the background allows frequently-used commands to run ~10× faster (e.g. cat, status, summary, branch etc.) • The server feature is still expiremental, and is therefore not the default. "cli" — spawn a new hg process per command (default). "server" — run a command server process _i.e. hg serve --cmdserve_

hg.lineAnnotationEnabled

• Enables hg annotate decorations at end of the currently selected lines.
