hg-update:tldr:c9135
The hg update
command is a command used in the Mercurial version control system to update the working directory to a specific revision or branch.
When you run hg update
, it will pull changes from the repository and update your working directory. By default, it will update to the latest revision in the currently active branch.
However, you can also provide an argument to hg update
to specify a specific revision or branch to update to. For example, you can specify a revision number like hg update 10
to update to revision 10, or you can specify a branch name like hg update feature-branch
to update to the latest revision in the "feature-branch" branch.
It's important to note that running hg update
may potentially overwrite any uncommitted changes in your working directory. So it is recommended to commit or stash any changes before running this command to avoid losing any work.
