hg-archive1

Usage

Overview

By default, the revision used is the parent of the working directory; use -r/--rev to specify a different revision.

The archive type is automatically detected based on file extension (to override, use -t/--type).

Examples:

•

create a zip file containing the 1.0 release:

hg archive -r 1.0 project-1.0.zip

•

create a tarball excluding .hg files:

hg archive project.tar.gz -X ".hg*"

Valid types are:

files

a directory full of files (default)

tar

tar archive, uncompressed

tbz2

tar archive, compressed using bzip2

tgz

tar archive, compressed using gzip

txz

tar archive, compressed using lzma (only in Python 3)

uzip

zip archive, uncompressed

zip

zip archive, compressed using deflate

The exact name of the destination archive or directory is given using a format string; see hg help export for details.

Each member added to an archive file has a directory prefix prepended. Use -p/--prefix to specify a format string for the prefix. The default is the basename of the archive, with suffixes removed.

Returns 0 on success.
