hg archive [OPTION]... DEST
create an unversioned archive of a repository revision
By default, the revision used is the parent of the working directory; use -r/--rev to specify a different revision.
The archive type is automatically detected based on file extension (to override, use -t/--type).
Examples:
- create a zip file containing the 1.0 release:
hg archive -r 1.0 project-1.0.zip
- create a tarball excluding .hg files:
hg archive project.tar.gz -X ".hg*"
Valid types are:
- "files"
- a directory full of files (default)
- "tar"
- tar archive, uncompressed
- "tbz2"
- tar archive, compressed using bzip2
- "tgz"
- tar archive, compressed using gzip
- "uzip"
- zip archive, uncompressed
- "zip"
- zip archive, compressed using deflate
The exact name of the destination archive or directory is given using a format string; see 'hg help export' for details.
Each member added to an archive file has a directory prefix prepended. Use -p/--prefix to specify a format string for the prefix. The default is the basename of the archive, with suffixes removed.
Returns 0 on success.
