Branching with Mercurial
I've got a detailed tutorial on branching with mercurial but here's just the cheatsheet for branching with mercurial:
Command | Comment |
---|---|
hg branch | Check which branch you're working on |
hg branch WEAPONISE_SPACE | Create a branch |
hg push -b . --new-branch | Push only the current branch (which happens to be new |
hg push -b . | Push only the current branch |
hg heads | See if there are any open "heads" (e.g. open branches) |
hg pull -b . --rebase | Pull just the current branch |
hg pull -b WEAPONISE_SPACE --rebase | Pull only the contents of a named branch (and merge any local commits you've already made) |
hg up WEAPONISE_SPACE | Switch to a named branch. So this will update the current working folder to contain the work from the named branch. |
hg commit -Am "committing here!" | Commit to the current branch, while addremoving files |
hg commit -m 'Finished Weaponising Space!' --close-branch | Close the current branch (good hygiene) |
hg up default | Update so that the current branch is now the default branch |
hg merge WEAPONISE_SPACE | Merge a named branch into the current branch |
