hg status
=========

show changed files in the working directory
-------------------------------------------

Show status of files in the repository. If names are given, only
files that match are shown. Files that are clean or ignored or
the source of a copy/move operation, are not listed unless
-c/--clean, -i/--ignored, -C/--copies or -A/--all are given.
Unless options described with "show only ..." are given, the
options -mardu are used.

Option -q/--quiet hides untracked (unknown and ignored) files
unless explicitly requested with -u/--unknown or -i/--ignored.

.. note::

   :hg:`status` may appear to disagree with diff if permissions have
   changed or a merge has occurred. The standard diff format does
   not report permission changes and diff only reports changes
   relative to one merge parent.

If one revision is given, it is used as the base revision.
If two revisions are given, the differences between them are
shown. The --change option can also be used as a shortcut to list
the changed files of a revision from its first parent.

The codes used to show the status of files are::

  M = modified
  A = added
  R = removed
  C = clean
  ! = missing (deleted by non-hg command, but still tracked)
  ? = not tracked
  I = ignored
    = origin of the previous file (with --copies)

.. container:: verbose

  The -t/--terse option abbreviates the output by showing only the directory
  name if all the files in it share the same status. The option takes an
  argument indicating the statuses to abbreviate: 'm' for 'modified', 'a'
  for 'added', 'r' for 'removed', 'd' for 'deleted', 'u' for 'unknown', 'i'
  for 'ignored' and 'c' for clean.

  It abbreviates only those statuses which are passed. Note that clean and
  ignored files are not displayed with '--terse ic' unless the -c/--clean
  and -i/--ignored options are also used.

  The -v/--verbose option shows information when the repository is in an
  unfinished merge, shelve, rebase state etc. You can have this behavior
  turned on by default by enabling the ``commands.status.verbose`` option.

  You can skip displaying some of these states by setting
  ``commands.status.skipstates`` to one or more of: 'bisect', 'graft',
  'histedit', 'merge', 'rebase', or 'unshelve'.

  Template:

  The following keywords are supported in addition to the common template
  keywords and functions. See also :hg:`help templates`.

  :path:    String. Repository-absolute path of the file.
  :source:  String. Repository-absolute path of the file originated from.
            Available if ``--copies`` is specified.
  :status:  String. Character denoting file's status.

  Examples:

  - show changes in the working directory relative to a
    changeset::

      hg status --rev 9353

  - show changes in the working directory relative to the
    current directory (see :hg:`help patterns` for more information)::

      hg status re:

  - show all changes including copies in an existing changeset::

      hg status --copies --change 9353

  - get a NUL separated list of added files, suitable for xargs::

      hg status -an0

  - show more information about the repository status, abbreviating
    added, removed, modified, deleted, and untracked paths::

      hg status -v -t mardu

Returns 0 on success.
