NAME

hg forget - forget the specified files on the next commit

SYNOPSIS

hg forget [OPTION]... FILE...

DESCRIPTION

Mark the specified files so they will no longer be tracked after the next commit.

This only removes files from the current branch, not from the entire project history, and it does not delete them from the working directory.

To delete the file from the working directory, see hg remove.

To undo a forget before the next commit, see hg add.

Examples:

  • forget newly-added binary files: 

    hg forget "set:added() and binary()"
  • forget files that would be excluded by .hgignore: 

    hg forget "set:hgignore()"

    Returns 0 on success.
