SYNOPSIS

**hg** *command* [*option*]... [*argument*]...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **hg** command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial
system.
COMMAND ELEMENTS
----------------
files...

"FILE NAME PATTERNS" for information on pattern matching
path

.. include:: hg.1.gendoc.txt
FILES
-----
``.hgignore``
This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
see |hgignore(5)|_.
``.hgtags``
This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
the repository contents.
``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
files.
Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
it will be overwritten.
BUGS
----
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (See Resources
below) when you find them.
