    hg copy [OPTION]... [SOURCE]... DEST

aliases: cp

mark files as copied for the next commit

    Mark dest as having copies of source files. If dest is a
    directory, copies are put in that directory. If dest is a file,
    the source must be a single file.

    By default, this command copies the contents of files as they
    exist in the working directory. If invoked with -A/--after, the
    operation is recorded, but no copying is performed.

    This command takes effect with the next commit. To undo a copy
    before that, see :hg:`revert`.

    Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.
