Help: grep
hg grep [--diff] [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
search for a pattern in specified files
Search the working directory or revision history for a regular expression in the specified files for the entire repository.
By default, grep searches the repository files in the working directory and prints the files where it finds a match. To specify historical revisions instead of the working directory, use the --rev flag.
To search instead historical revision differences that contains a change in match status ("-" for a match that becomes a non-match, or "+" for a non-match that becomes a match), use the --diff flag.
PATTERN can be any Python (roughly Perl-compatible) regular expression.
If no FILEs are specified and the --rev flag isn't supplied, all files in the working directory are searched. When using the --rev flag and specifying FILEs, use the --follow argument to also follow the specified FILEs across renames and copies.
Template:
The following keywords are supported in addition to the common template keywords and functions. See also 'hg help templates'.
- change
- String. Character denoting insertion "+" or removal "-". Available if "--diff" is specified.
- lineno
- Integer. Line number of the match.
- path
- String. Repository-absolute path of the file.
- texts
- List of text chunks.
And each entry of "{texts}" provides the following sub-keywords.
- matched
- Boolean. True if the chunk matches the specified pattern.
- text
- String. Chunk content.
See 'hg help templates.operators' for the list expansion syntax.
Returns 0 if a match is found, 1 otherwise.
