Alias Extension

Define convenient command aliases.

1. Status

{i} 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
