Using Mercurial Extensions

Expanding the basic functionality of Mercurial with optional extensions.

1. Introduction

Mercurial is designed to offer a small, safe, and easy to use command set which is powerful enough for most users. Advanced users of Mercurial can be aided with the use of Mercurial extensions. Extensions allow the integration of powerful new features directly into the Mercurial core.

<!> Features in extensions may not conform to Mercurial's usual standards for safety, reliability, and ease of use.

Built-in help on extensions is available with 'hg help extensions'. To get help about an enabled extension, run 'hg help <extension-name>'.

Note that Mercurial explicitly does not provide a stable API for extension programmers, so it is up to their respective providers/maintainers to adapt them to API changes.

2. Enabling an extension

To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the Python search path, create an entry for it in your hgrc, like this:

[extensions]
foo =

You may also specify the full path to an extension (which may be either a .py file or a folder containing __init__.py):

[extensions]
myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py

To get an extension which is not shipped with Mercurial, just download it to any place in your filesystem. In the example above it was downloaded to ~/.hgext/. NB: On Windows, if the path refers to a directory then the trailing backwards slash must currently be omitted due to issue4187.

To explicitly disable an extension enabled in an hgrc of broader scope, prepend its path with !:

[extensions]
# disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
# ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
baz = !

Extensions can often be configured further in an extension specific section in the same configuration file.

3. Extensions bundled with Mercurial

These extensions are maintained by the Mercurial project and are distributed together with Mercurial.
