Since switching to Mercurial I often use the “hg summary” command.
hg summary [--remote]
aliases: sum
summarize working directory state
This generates a brief summary of the working directory state, including
parents, branch, commit status, and available updates.
With the --remote option, this will check the default paths for incoming
and outgoing changes. This can be time-consuming.
When you execute this command in a directory that is under source control you will see something like this:
parent: 35:008279cba4b4 tip
This is the commit message of the last checkin
branch: default
commit: 1 modified, 1 unknown
update: (current)
I am usually most interested in which branch I am currently working in and what is the current status of my working directory. Since I use PowerShell as my command line I decided to overwrite the default PowerShell prompt (PS >) with some of the data from the “hg summary” command.
To do this I added the following code to my PowerShell profile:
if (test-path function:\prompt) {
$oldPrompt = ls function: | ? {$_.Name -eq "prompt"}
remove-item -force function:\prompt
}
function prompt() {
$host.ui.rawui.WindowTitle = (get-location).Path
$summary = hg summary 2>&1
if($summary.Exception -eq $null) {
$regex = "(?si)(parent:(?<parent>.*?)(\n|\r)+.*?)(branch:(?<branch>.*)\s)(commit:(?<commit>.*)\s)(update:(?<update>.*))";
$summary = [System.String]::Join([System.Environment]::NewLine,$summary)
$res = $summary -match $regex
$format = "hg b:{0} c:{1}" -f $matches["branch"].Trim(), $matches["commit"].Trim()
write-host ($format) -NoNewLine
write-host (">") -NoNewLine
}
else {
& $oldPrompt
}
return " "
}
With this in place when you are in a directory that is not controlled by Mercurial you will see the normal prompt. But once you enter a source controlled directory the prompt will look like:
This quickly shows me that I am in the default branch and I have 1 file modified and 1 unknown file in my directory.
After committing it will show:
Which shows that the current working directory is in a clean state.
