HG(IDENTIFY)                                                      HG(IDENTIFY)

NAME
       hg identify - identify the working directory or specified revision

SYNOPSIS
       hg identify [-nibtB] [-r REV] [SOURCE]

DESCRIPTION
       Print a summary identifying the repository state at REV using one or
       two parent hash identifiers, followed by a "+" if the working directory
       has uncommitted changes, the branch name (if not default), a list of
       tags, and a list of bookmarks.

       When REV is not given, print a summary of the current state of the
       repository including the working directory. Specify -r. to get
       information of the working directory parent without scanning
       uncommitted changes.

       Specifying a path to a repository root or Mercurial bundle will cause
       lookup to operate on that repository/bundle.

       Template:

       The following keywords are supported in addition to the common template
       keywords and functions. See also hg help templates.

       dirty  String. Character + denoting if the working directory has
              uncommitted changes.

       id     String. One or two nodes, optionally followed by +.

       parents
              List of strings. Parent nodes of the changeset.

              Examples:

       o generate a build identifier for the working directory:

         hg id --id > build-id.dat

       o find the revision corresponding to a tag:

         hg id -n -r 1.3

       o check the most recent revision of a remote repository:

         hg id -r tip https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/

         See hg log for generating more information about specific revisions,
         including full hash identifiers.

         Returns 0 if successful.
