hg-commit:tldr:ea405
The command "hg commit --include ${pattern}" is a version control command used with the Mercurial (hg) tool. This command allows you to commit changes to the repository, but only include files that match a specified pattern.
Here's an explanation of each component of the command:
-
"hg commit": This is the basic command used to commit changes in the Mercurial version control system. It takes a snapshot of your changes and creates a new changeset with a unique identifier.
-
"--include ${pattern}": This is an additional option provided by Mercurial's commit command. The "--include" flag allows you to specify a pattern (such as a file or directory name) to selectively include only specific files when committing. The "${pattern}" placeholder should be replaced with the actual pattern you want to use.
By using this command, only files that match the specified pattern will be included in the commit. Any other changes to files that don't match the pattern will be ignored and not included in the commit. This can be useful when you have multiple changes but want to commit only certain files or directories.
