Cinnabar (early prototype)

Enhance your Mercurial command-line experience with this set of aliases and scripts. The idea behind this project is based on [SCM Breeze][1] which is available for Git. Cinnabar provides the following features:

• Aliases for Mercurial commands
• Numbered file shortcuts

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Source cinnabar.sh from your .bashrc or .zshrc file.

Usage

Whenever you view your Mercurial repo status, each path gets assigned to an environment variable. Use hs to view the enhanced hg status output. The files are numbered from 1,2,... and stored in the environment variables CINFILE1,CINFILE2,... .

$ hs

  M [1] path/to/foo.txt
  A [2] path/to/bar.txt
  ? [3] even/more/paths/baz.txt
  ? [4] even/more/paths/buz.txt

The numbers can be used with shortcuts such as ha (hg add). Only the number has to be specified instead of typing the full file path. Number ranges can be used to reference a range of files. E.g.:

$ hc 2 3 4

or

$ hc 2-4

will expand to

$ hg commit path/to/foo.txt even/more/paths/baz.txt even/more/paths/buz.txt

The following aliases support numbered files and numbered ranges:

• ha: hg add
• hc: hg commit
• hca: hg commit --amend
• hd: hg diff
• hl: hg log
• hrm: hg remove
• hre: hg revert
• rm: rm
• vim: vim
