Help: archive

hg archive [OPTION]... DEST

create an unversioned archive of a repository revision

By default, the revision used is the parent of the working directory; use -r/--rev to specify a different revision.

The archive type is automatically detected based on file extension (to override, use -t/--type).

Examples:

create a zip file containing the 1.0 release:
```
hg archive -r 1.0 project-1.0.zip
```
create a tarball excluding .hg files:
```
hg archive project.tar.gz -X ".hg*"
```

Valid types are:

"files": a directory full of files (default)
"tar": tar archive, uncompressed
"tbz2": tar archive, compressed using bzip2
"tgz": tar archive, compressed using gzip
"uzip": zip archive, uncompressed
"zip": zip archive, compressed using deflate

The exact name of the destination archive or directory is given using a format string; see 'hg help export' for details.

Each member added to an archive file has a directory prefix prepended. Use -p/--prefix to specify a format string for the prefix. The default is the basename of the archive, with suffixes removed.

Returns 0 on success.
