hg-remove: Remove all staged files, excluding those that match a specified pattern.
$ hg remove --exclude ${pattern}
try on your machine

The command "hg remove --exclude ${pattern}" is a command used in the Mercurial version control system. Here is the breakdown of this command:

  • "hg" refers to the executable command for Mercurial.
  • "remove" is a command in Mercurial used to remove files from version control.
  • "--exclude" is an option used with the "remove" command to specify a pattern or condition to exclude certain files from removal.
  • "${pattern}" is a placeholder for the actual pattern or condition that you need to specify. It could be a file name, file extension, or a pattern that matches multiple files.

When you run this command, Mercurial will remove files that match your specified pattern while excluding any files that match the exclude pattern. This can be useful when you want to remove certain files from version control but want to exclude some specific files or types of files from the removal operation.
