Synopsis

hgview [options] [filename]

Description

hgview(1) is a GUI application usually invoked from the command line. The simplest way to use it is to install it as a hg extension. Alternatively, it can be used as a standalone application.

If [filename] is given, hgview will start in file-diff mode, in which user can easily compare arbitrary revisions of a file.

Use ``hg help hgview`` for an extended help description

Options

-n, ā€‰--navigate (require a filename)

starts in filelog navigation mode

-r REV, --rev=REV

starts in manifest mode for given revision
