Help: shelve
hg shelve [OPTION]... [FILE]...
save and set aside changes from the working directory
Shelving takes files that "hg status" reports as not clean, saves the modifications to a bundle (a shelved change), and reverts the files so that their state in the working directory becomes clean.
To restore these changes to the working directory, using "hg unshelve"; this will work even if you switch to a different commit.
When no files are specified, "hg shelve" saves all not-clean files. If specific files or directories are named, only changes to those files are shelved.
In bare shelve (when no files are specified, without interactive, include and exclude option), shelving remembers information if the working directory was on newly created branch, in other words working directory was on different branch than its first parent. In this situation unshelving restores branch information to the working directory.
Each shelved change has a name that makes it easier to find later. The name of a shelved change defaults to being based on the active bookmark, or if there is no active bookmark, the current named branch. To specify a different name, use "--name".
To see a list of existing shelved changes, use the "--list" option. For each shelved change, this will print its name, age, and description; use "--patch" or "--stat" for more details.
To delete specific shelved changes, use "--delete". To delete all shelved changes, use "--cleanup".
