Alias Extension

This extension is currently being distributed along with Mercurial.

Author: Brendan Cully

Just enable the extension, then define your own command aliases in your hgrc. For example, the configuration below gives you a new llog command.

Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding following lines:

[extensions]
alias =

[alias]
# short log
llog = log --limit 10

+=== Future Work ===
 * 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
}}}
