Help: log
hg log [OPTION]... [FILE]
aliases: history
show revision history of entire repository or files
Print the revision history of the specified files or the entire project.
If no revision range is specified, the default is "tip:0" unless --follow
is set, in which case the working directory parent is used as the starting
revision.
File history is shown without following rename or copy history of files.
Use -f/--follow with a filename to follow history across renames and
copies. --follow without a filename will only show ancestors or
descendants of the starting revision.
By default this command prints revision number and changeset id, tags,
non-trivial parents, user, date and time, and a summary for each commit.
When the -v/--verbose switch is used, the list of changed files and full
commit message are shown.
Note:
log -p/--patch may generate unexpected diff output for merge
changesets, as it will only compare the merge changeset against its
first parent. Also, only files different from BOTH parents will appear
in files:.
Note:
for performance reasons, log FILE may omit duplicate changes made on
branches and will not show deletions. To see all changes including
duplicates and deletions, use the --removed switch.
Some examples:
- changesets with full descriptions and file lists:
hg log -v
- changesets ancestral to the working directory:
hg log -f
- last 10 commits on the current branch:
hg log -l 10 -b .
- changesets showing all modifications of a file, including removals:
hg log --removed file.c
- all changesets that touch a directory, with diffs, excluding merges:
hg log -Mp lib/
- all revision numbers that match a keyword:
hg log -k bug --template "{rev}\n"
- check if a given changeset is included is a tagged release:
hg log -r "a21ccf and ancestor(1.9)"
- find all changesets by some user in a date range:
hg log -k alice -d "may 2008 to jul 2008"
- summary of all changesets after the last tag:
hg log -r "last(tagged())::" --template "{desc|firstline}\n"
See "hg help dates" for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
See "hg help revisions" and "hg help revsets" for more about specifying
revisions.
See "hg help templates" for more about pre-packaged styles and specifying
custom templates.
Returns 0 on success.
