PhpStorm 2023.3 Help

Tag changesets and repositories

PhpStorm supports both local and global tags. Local tags are stored in the file .hg/localtags in the repository, global tags are stored in the file .hgtags.

Currently, tagging specific changesets is supported only in the command line mode in the embedded Terminal. To launch the Terminal, hover over the Tool windows icon in the lower left corner of the IDE, then choose Terminal from the menu. After commit, tags appear in the Log tab of the Mercurial tool window Alt+9.

For more information about Mercurial tags, refer to Mercurial Documentation: Tag.
