Mercurial: How do you undo changes?

Question

When using Mercurial, how do you undo all changes in the working directory since the last commit? It seems like this would be a simple thing, but it\'s escaping me.

Answer 1

hg revert will do the trick.

It will revert you to the last commit.

--all will revert all files.

See the link for the Man Page description of it.

hg update is usually used to refresh your working directory after you pull from a different repo or swap branches. hg up myawesomebranch. It also can be used to revert to a specific version. hg up -r 12.
