Hg diff与多个文件

Question

I am new to mercurial. So, please excuse my question if it sounds trivial. I am trying to figure out how to do a diff for multiple files. Here is my use case : I made changes to four files. However, I am only interested in seeing the changes I made in two of them (fileA and fileB). I thought something like this would work :

hg diff fileA fileB

But it does not.

Answer 1

You need either the --include ( -I ) or --exclude ( -X ) options such as:

hg diff -I fileA -I fileB
hg diff -X *.csv

Remember you can compare specific revisions too

hg diff -r 1234:tip -I fileA

Use hg help diff in the console to see all the options available or look here
