How to remove changes to a file in hg

Question

Could you tell me how can I delete the changes that I made locally? In git, I can do git checkout -- aFile.cpp , how can I do the same for "hg"?

Thank.

Answer 1

 hg revert <filename> 

More information on the available hg commands is available on the page.

(Note that this is not the same as git revert - the git revert command for returning collisions, the hg revert command is for returning local changes. Also, the command you really should use to remove local changes in git is actually git reset , not check.)

Answer 2

revert --no-backup

Prevents the creation of .orig files, more accurately imitating git checkout :

 hg revert --no-backup file
