hg files [OPTION]... [FILE]...

list tracked files

Print files under Mercurial control in the working directory or specified revision for given files (excluding removed files). Files can be specified as filenames or filesets.

If no files are given to match, this command prints the names of all files under Mercurial control.

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

flags
String. Character denoting file's symlink and executable bits.
path
String. Repository-absolute path of the file.
size
Integer. Size of the file in bytes.

Examples:

  • list all files under the current directory:
    hg files .
    
  • shows sizes and flags for current revision:
    hg files -vr .
    
  • list all files named README:
    hg files -I "**/README"
    
  • list all binary files:
    hg files "set:binary()"
    
  • find files containing a regular expression:
    hg files "set:grep('bob')"
    
  • search tracked file contents with xargs and grep:
    hg files -0 | xargs -0 grep foo
    

See 'hg help patterns' and 'hg help filesets' for more information on specifying file patterns.
