hg-remove:tldr:02f6f

hg-remove: Remove all staged files matching a specified pattern.
$ hg remove --include ${pattern}
try on your machine

The command "hg remove --include ${pattern}" is used in the Mercurial version control system to remove files or directories from the repository. Let's break down the command:

  • "hg remove": This is the main command that tells Mercurial to remove files or directories from the repository.
  • "--include": This is an option used to specify a pattern to match files or directories that need to be removed. The pattern is defined using wildcard characters, such as "*" (matches any characters) or "?" (matches any single character).
  • "${pattern}": This is a placeholder that represents the actual pattern you want to specify. You would replace "${pattern}" with the actual pattern you want to use.

By using "--include" followed by a pattern, you can selectively remove specific files or directories from the repository that match the pattern you provide. The pattern can be used to target files or directories based on their names, extensions, or other characteristics.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
