HGIGNORE(5)		       Mercurial Manual			   HGIGNORE(5)

NAME
       hgignore - syntax for Mercurial ignore files

SYNOPSIS
       The Mercurial system uses a file called .hgignore in the root directory
       of a repository to control its behavior when it searches for files that
       it is not currently tracking.

DESCRIPTION
       The  working  directory	of  a  Mercurial repository will often contain
       files that should not be tracked by  Mercurial.	These  include	backup
       files  created  by  editors  and	 build	products created by compilers.
       These files can be ignored by listing them in a .hgignore file  in  the
       root of the working directory. The .hgignore file must be created manu‐
       ally. It is typically put under version control, so that	 the  settings
       will propagate to other repositories with push and pull.

       An  untracked  file  is	ignored if its path relative to the repository
       root directory, or any prefix path of that path, is matched against any
       pattern in .hgignore.

       For  example,  say  we  have  an	 untracked file, file.c, at a/b/file.c
       inside our repository. Mercurial will ignore file.c if any  pattern  in
       .hgignore matches a/b/file.c, a/b or a.

       In  addition,  a	 Mercurial  configuration  file can reference a set of
       per-user or global ignore files. See the ignore	configuration  key  on
       the  [ui]  section  of  hg  help config for details of how to configure
       these files.

       To control Mercurial's handling of files that it manages, many commands
       support	the  -I and -X options; see hg help <command> and hg help pat‐
       terns for details.

       Files that are already tracked are not affected by .hgignore,  even  if
       they  appear  in .hgignore. An untracked file X can be explicitly added
       with hg add X, even if X would be excluded by a pattern in .hgignore.

SYNTAX
       An ignore file is a plain text file consisting of a list	 of  patterns,
       with  one pattern per line. Empty lines are skipped. The # character is
       treated as a comment character, and the \ character is  treated	as  an
       escape character.

       Mercurial supports several pattern syntaxes. The default syntax used is
       Python/Perl-style regular expressions.

       To change the syntax used, use a line of the following form:

       syntax: NAME

       where NAME is one of the following:

       regexp

	      Regular expression, Python/Perl syntax.

       glob

	      Shell-style glob.

       The chosen syntax stays in effect when parsing all patterns  that  fol‐
       low, until another syntax is selected.

       Neither	glob  nor regexp patterns are rooted. A glob-syntax pattern of
       the form *.c will match a file ending in .c in  any  directory,	and  a
       regexp pattern of the form \.c$ will do the same. To root a regexp pat‐
       tern, start it with ^.

       Subdirectories can have their own .hgignore settings by	adding	subin‐
       clude:path/to/subdir/.hgignore  to the root .hgignore. See hg help pat‐
       terns for details on subinclude: and include:.

       Note   Patterns specified in other than .hgignore  are  always  rooted.
	      Please see hg help patterns for details.

EXAMPLE
       Here is an example ignore file.

       # use glob syntax.
       syntax: glob

       *.elc
       *.pyc
       *~

       # switch to regexp syntax.
       syntax: regexp
       ^\.pc/
