Alias Extension
This extension is currently being distributed along with Mercurial.
Author: Brendan Cully
1. Overview
In Mercurial 1.3 and newer, this is no longer an extension; the functionality (same as before) is now available from core Mercurial.
Define your own shortcuts for Mercurial's command-line user interface.
2. 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.)
3. 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
