hg-status:tldr:a4505
hg-status: Display only files matching a specified glob pattern.
$ hg status --include ${pattern}
try on your machine
This command, "hg status --include ${pattern}", is a command used in the Mercurial version control system.
Here is a breakdown of each element of the command:
- "hg" is the executable command for Mercurial.
- "status" is a command within Mercurial that displays the status of files in the repository.
- "--include" is an option for the "hg status" command, specifying that the following argument is a pattern to include specific files.
- "${pattern}" refers to a placeholder for a specific pattern of files. You would replace "${pattern}" with the actual pattern you want to use.
The purpose of this command is to display the status of files in the repository that match a specific pattern. By providing a pattern as an argument to "--include", you can filter the files displayed to only show those that match the pattern. For example, if you wanted to see the status of all files with the ".txt" extension, you would replace "${pattern}" with "*.txt".

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