hg commit [OPTION]... [FILE]... aliases: ci commit the specified files or all outstanding changes Commit changes to the given files into the repository. Unlike a centralized SCM, this operation is a local operation. See :hg:`push` for a way to actively distribute your changes. If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by :hg:`status` will be committed. If you are committing the result of a merge, do not provide any filenames or -I/-X filters. If no commit message is specified, Mercurial starts your configured editor where you can enter a message. In case your commit fails, you will find a backup of your message in ``.hg/last-message.txt``. The --amend flag can be used to amend the parent of the working directory with a new commit that contains the changes in the parent in addition to those currently reported by :hg:`status`, if there are any. The old commit is stored in a backup bundle in ``.hg/strip-backup`` (see :hg:`help bundle` and :hg:`help unbundle` on how to restore it). Message, user and date are taken from the amended commit unless specified. When a message isn't specified on the command line, the editor will open with the message of the amended commit. It is not possible to amend public changesets (see :hg:`help phases`) or changesets that have children. See :hg:`help dates` for a list of formats valid for -d/--date. Returns 0 on success, 1 if nothing changed. options: == ===================== ========================================================= -A --addremove mark new/missing files as added/removed before committing --close-branch mark a branch as closed, hiding it from the branch list --amend amend the parent of the working dir -s --secret use the secret phase for committing -e --edit invoke editor on commit messages -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns -m --message TEXT use text as commit message -l --logfile FILE read commit message from file -d --date DATE record the specified date as commit date -u --user USER record the specified user as committer -S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories == ===================== ========================================================= [+] marked option can be specified multiple times global options: == =================== ================================================================== -R --repository REPO repository root directory or name of overlay bundle file --cwd DIR change working directory -y --noninteractive do not prompt, automatically pick the first choice for all prompts -q --quiet suppress output -v --verbose enable additional output --config CONFIG [+] set/override config option (use 'section.name=value') --debug enable debugging output --debugger start debugger --encoding ENCODE set the charset encoding (default: UTF-8) --encodingmode MODE set the charset encoding mode (default: strict) --traceback always print a traceback on exception --time time how long the command takes --profile print command execution profile --version output version information and exit -h --help display help and exit --hidden consider hidden changesets == =================== ================================================================== [+] marked option can be specified multiple times
