cat
cat
output file content at a particular revision
Output the specified files' content at the specified revision. If no revision is given, the parent of the working directory is used.
Use --output to write files or directories to disk using the following
formatting rules:
%%
literal "%" character
%s
basename of file being printed
%d
dirname of file being printed, or '.' if in repository root
%p
root-relative path name of file being printed
%H
commit hash (40 hexadecimal digits)
%h
short commit hash (12 hexadecimal digits)
%b
basename of the repository
Examples:
- Recursively export directory foo/bar to disk:
sl cat -r fbc6b8c381 --output "/tmp/export/%p" path:foo/bar
- Output all Rust files' content under foo/bar to stdout:
sl cat -r fbc6b8c381 "glob:foo/bar/**/*.rs"
- Output the content of something/important.txt at bookmark main to /tmp/file:
sl cat -r main --output /tmp/file something/important.txt
To operate without a local repo, specify -R/--repository as a Sapling
Remote API capable URL. The local on-disk cache will still be used to avoid
remote fetches.
See sl help patterns for more information on specifying file patterns.
Returns 0 if there were no errors and at least one file was output.
