FISH_HG_PROMPT(1)

NAME
fish_hg_prompt - output Mercurial information for use in a prompt

SYNOPSIS
fish_hg_prompt

    function fish_prompt
         printf '%s' $PWD (fish_hg_prompt) ' $ '
    end

DESCRIPTION

The fish_hg_prompt function displays information about the current Mercurial repository, if any.

Mercurial <https://www.mercurial-scm.org/> (hg) must be installed.

By default, only the current branch is shown because hg status can be slow on a large repository. You can enable a more informative prompt by setting the variable $fish_prompt_hg_show_informative_status, for example:

    set --universal fish_prompt_hg_show_informative_status

If you enabled the informative status, there are numerous customization options, which can be controlled with fish variables.

•   $fish_color_hg_clean, $fish_color_hg_modified and $fish_color_hg_dirty are colors used when the repository has the respective status.

    Some colors for status symbols:

•   $fish_color_hg_added

•   $fish_color_hg_renamed

•   $fish_color_hg_copied

•   $fish_color_hg_deleted

•   $fish_color_hg_untracked

•   $fish_color_hg_unmerged

    The status symbols themselves:

•   $fish_prompt_hg_status_added, default '✚'

•   $fish_prompt_hg_status_modified, default '*'

•   $fish_prompt_hg_status_copied, default '⇒'

•   $fish_prompt_hg_status_deleted, default '✖'

•   $fish_prompt_hg_status_untracked, default '?'

•   $fish_prompt_hg_status_unmerged, default '!'

    Finally, $fish_prompt_hg_status_order, which can be used to change the order the status symbols appear in. It defaults to added modified copied deleted untracked unmerged.

    See also fish_vcs_prompt <>, which will call all supported version control prompt functions, including git, Mercurial and Subversion.

EXAMPLE

A simple prompt that displays hg info:

    function fish_prompt
        ...
        set -g fish_prompt_hg_show_informative_status
        printf '%s %s$' $PWD (fish_hg_prompt)
    end
