hg resolve - redo merges or set/view the merge status of files

hg resolve [OPTION]... [FILE]...

Merges with unresolved conflicts are often the result of non-interactive merging using the internal:merge configuration setting, or a command-line merge tool like diff3. The resolve command is used to manage the files involved in a merge, after hg merge has been run, and before hg commit is run (i.e. the working directory must have two parents). See hg help merge-tools for information on configuring merge tools.

The resolve command can be used in the following ways:

  • hg resolve [--re-merge] [--tool TOOL] FILE...: attempt to re-merge the specified files, discarding any previous merge attempts. Re-merging is not performed for files already marked as resolved. Use --all/-a to select all unresolved files. --tool can be used to specify the merge tool used for the given files. It overrides the HGMERGE environment variable and your configuration files. Previous file contents are saved with a .orig suffix.
  • hg resolve -m [FILE]: mark a file as having been resolved (e.g. after having manually fixed-up the files). The default is to mark all unresolved files.
  • hg resolve -u [FILE]...: mark a file as unresolved. The default is to mark all resolved files.
  • hg resolve -l: list files which had or still have conflicts. In the printed list, U = unresolved and R = resolved. You can use set:unresolved() or set:resolved() to filter the list. See hg help filesets for details.
Mercurial will not let you commit files with unresolved merge conflicts. You must use hg resolve -m ... before you can commit after a conflicting merge.
