1. Overview

The shelve extension lets you set your pending changes aside temporarily and restore them at a later time. It is useful in situations where you need to switch tasks, but are not ready to commit your current work.

2. Configuration

Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding following lines:

[extensions]
shelve=

3. Usage

Temporarily stash away changes:

hg shelve

List all existing shelves:

hg shelve --list

Get the changes back into the working directory:

hg unshelve

Shelves can be given custom names (the default name is your active bookmark or branch):

hg shelve --name <name>
hg unshelve <name>

See hg shelve --help for advance usage.
