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
```
