Duplicate Operation

Duplicate copies one or more selected revisions and places the copies at a target.

Press y in the Revisions view to enter duplicate mode.

Whatever is selected (or the highlighted revision if nothing is selected) when you press y becomes the source. The source revisions are marked << duplicate >> in the list. Navigate to the target revision, choose a placement mode, then press enter to apply (or alt+enter to force apply).

Target modes

• o onto: places the copies as children of the target. Existing descendants of the target are not affected.
• a after: places the copies after the target, and rebases the target’s existing descendants on top of the copies.
• b before: places the copies before the target, inserting them between the target and its parents.
• i insert: two-step placement — navigate to the “after” revision and press i to mark it, then navigate to the “before” revision and press enter. The copies are inserted between the two points.
• t: open the target picker.

Target picker

When the target revision is not visible in the current revset, press t to open the target picker. It lists bookmarks and tags, and also accepts a raw revset expression.
