hg archive [OPTION]... DEST
By default, the revision used is the parent of the working directory; use -r/--rev to specify a different revision.
The archive type is automatically detected based on file extension (to override, use -t/--type).
Examples:
create a zip file containing the 1.0 release:
hg archive -r 1.0 project-1.0.zip
create a tarball excluding .hg files:
hg archive project.tar.gz -X ".hg*"
Valid types are:
| files: | a directory full of files (default) |
|---|---|
| tar: | tar archive, uncompressed |
| tbz2: | tar archive, compressed using bzip2 |
| tgz: | tar archive, compressed using gzip |
| txz: | tar archive, compressed using lzma (only in Python 3) |
| uzip: | zip archive, uncompressed |
| zip: | zip archive, compressed using deflate |
The exact name of the destination archive or directory is given using a format string; see hg help export for details.
Each member added to an archive file has a directory prefix prepended. Use -p/--prefix to specify a format string for the prefix. The default is the basename of the archive, with suffixes removed.
Returns 0 on success.
