hg bookmarks [OPTIONS]... [NAME]...

aliases: bookmark

create a new bookmark or list existing bookmarks

Bookmarks are labels on changesets to help track lines of development. Bookmarks are unversioned and can be moved, renamed and deleted. Deleting or moving a bookmark has no effect on the associated changesets.

Creating or updating to a bookmark causes it to be marked as 'active'. The active bookmark is indicated with a '*'. When a commit is made, the active bookmark will advance to the new commit. A plain 'hg update' will also advance an active bookmark, if possible. Updating away from a bookmark will cause it to be deactivated.

Bookmarks can be pushed and pulled between repositories (see 'hg help push' and 'hg help pull'). If a shared bookmark has diverged, a new 'divergent bookmark' of the form 'name@path' will be created. Using 'hg merge' will resolve the divergence.

Specifying bookmark as '.' to -m/-d/-l options is equivalent to specifying the active bookmark's name.

A bookmark named '@' has the special property that 'hg clone' will check it out by default if it exists.

Template:

The following keywords are supported in addition to the common template keywords and functions such as "{bookmark}". See also 'hg help templates'.

active: Boolean. True if the bookmark is active.

Examples:

create an active bookmark for a new line of development:
```
hg book new-feature
```
create an inactive bookmark as a place marker:
```
hg book -i reviewed
```
create an inactive bookmark on another changeset:
```
hg book -r .^ tested
```
rename bookmark turkey to dinner:
```
hg book -m turkey dinner
```
move the '@' bookmark from another branch:
```
hg book -f @
```
print only the active bookmark name:
```
hg book -ql .
```
