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.
