Alias Extension
Define convenient command aliases.
1. Status
This extension has been moved into core Mercurial as of 1.3.
Original author: Brendan Cully
2. Overview
Define your own shortcuts for Mercurial's command-line user interface.
3. Configuration
Add the following lines to a hgrc to add a llog command:
[alias] # short log llog = log --limit 10
(In 1.2.1 and earlier, you also need to activate the extension from the [extensions] section.)
4. Ideas for improvements
Support for global options like --config in extension definitions
- Shell aliases
- Argument substitution
mq = hg -R $(hg root)/.hg/patches $*
- Pipes
hgrep = hg manifest | grep $*
- Recursive alias definitions:
foo = bar bar = log
