Switch Working Directory dialog

Last modified: 11 February 2024

Use this dialog to update the current working directory to a named branch, light-weight branch (bookmark), or a specific changeset identified by a tag, hash, or revision number.

By default, Mercurial requires that before update the current working directory should be clean, that is, it should not contain any uncommitted changes. Otherwise the update operation fails and RubyMine shows the corresponding error message. The message also recommends that you clean the current working directory by running the hg update <target branch, bookmark, or changeset> -C to discard the uncommitted changes.
