Show Changesets Not Yet Pushed
posted by Ryan Wilcox on October 27, 2009
Whenever you commit something to Mercurial that changeset normally stays on your machine until you explicitly push it on another server. Unlike a centralized system like Subversion, the push is a separate step, but sometimes you’ll want to know exactly what changesets you’re pushing before you send all your changes to the world.
Mercurial has a feature that can tell you this: the outgoing command. Example:
$ hg outgoing default

The parameter to passed to the outgoing command is the repository path you want to examine. The “default” path is assumed if you don’t specify one.
