NAME

       hg identify - identify the working directory or specified revision

SYNOPSIS

       hg identify [-nibtB] [-r REV] [SOURCE]

DESCRIPTION

       Print  a  summary  identifying  the  repository  state  at  REV using one or two parent hash identifiers,
       followed by a "+" if the working directory has uncommitted changes, the branch name (if not  default),  a
       list of tags, and a list of bookmarks.

       When  REV  is  not  given,  print  a summary of the current state of the repository including the working
       directory. Specify -r. to get information of the working directory parent  without  scanning  uncommitted
       changes.

       Specifying  a  path  to  a  repository  root  or  Mercurial  bundle  will cause lookup to operate on that
       repository/bundle.

       Template:

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

       dirty  String. Character + denoting if the working directory has uncommitted changes.

       id     String. One or two nodes, optionally followed by +.

       parents
              List of strings. Parent nodes of the changeset.

              Examples:

       • generate a build identifier for the working directory:

         hg id --id > build-id.dat

       • find the revision corresponding to a tag:

         hg id -n -r 1.3

       • check the most recent revision of a remote repository:

         hg id -r tip https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/

         See hg log for generating more information about specific revisions, including full hash identifiers.

         Returns 0 if successful.
