Mercurial equivalents of CVS commands

This table lists Mercurial's equivalents for commands provided by CVS. Many CVS commands that do not have direct equivalents in Mercurial are discussed in CvsConcepts.

CVS	Mercurial	Meaning	References
add	add	add a new file to the repository
admin
annotate	annotate	show modification info for each line in a file
checkout	clone (Update)	create a working directory from a repository (use update to change an existing working directory)
commit	commit (push)	commit outstanding changes to a new changeset (use push to send commits to remote repository)
diff	diff	diff revisions, or compare the tip to the working directory
export	archive	produce an unversioned snapshot of a repository - Mercurial export is a different operation
history
import	addremove	use addremove and commit to import source trees, Mercurial's import only imports patches
init		CVS's init really only initialises its repository system for use, whereas Mercurial's init creates a new ready-to-use repository from scratch
kserver	serve	export repository remotely	Running a server (for CVS) and Publishing Repositories
log	log	show revision history of repository or file
login			Authenticated access (for CVS)
logout			Authenticated access (for CVS)
pserver	serve	export repository remotely	Running a server (for CVS) and Publishing Repositories
rannotate
rdiff	export	export changeset in patch file format
release
remove	remove	remove the specified files on the next commit
rlog
rtag	tag	add a tag for a changeset
server	serve	export repository remotely	Running a server (for CVS) and Publishing Repositories
status	status	show changed files in working directory
tag	tag	add a tag for a changeset	Modules, branching and tagging (for CVS)
unedit
update	pull -u	update or merge working directory, mostly equivalent to a combination of pull (to get remote changes) and update in Mercurial
version	version	print version and copyright information
watch			Watching files (for CVS)
watchers			Watching files (for CVS)
