hg-status: Display files, excluding those that match a specified glob pattern.
$ hg status --exclude ${pattern}
try on your machine
The command "hg status --exclude ${pattern}" is used in Mercurial (a distributed version control system) to get the status of files in a repository while excluding specific patterns.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "hg status" is the basic command to display the status of files in the repository. It shows information about any changes made to files in the working directory, such as added, modified, or deleted files.
- "--exclude ${pattern}" is an option that allows you to exclude specific patterns of files or directories from the status output. The "${pattern}" is a placeholder for the actual pattern you want to exclude.
By using this command, you can see the status of files in your repository while ignoring certain files or directories that match the given pattern. This can be useful to filter out irrelevant files or focus only on specific parts of the codebase during the status check.

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