Help: resolve

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

redo merges or set/view the merge status of files

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.

Note:

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.

Template:

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

mergestatus: String. Character denoting merge conflicts, "U" or "R".
path: String. Repository-absolute path of the file.

Returns 0 on success, 1 if any files fail a resolve attempt.
