hg-add:tldr:51be1
hg-add: Add all unstaged files, excluding those that match a specified pattern.
$ hg add --exclude ${pattern}
try on your machine
The command "hg add --exclude ${pattern}" is used in Mercurial (hg) to add directories or files to the repository while excluding specific patterns from being added.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "hg add" is the primary command that adds directories or files to the repository.
- "--exclude" is an option that follows the "hg add" command and specifies that certain patterns should be excluded from adding.
- "${pattern}" is a placeholder that represents the actual pattern that you want to exclude. This pattern can be a file extension, a filename, or a directory path.
By using this command, you can add multiple directories or files to the repository but exclude any matching patterns specified in ${pattern}. This allows you to selectively add content to the repository while excluding certain files or directories that you may not want to include.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
