+Mercurial CLI Templates
+***********************
+
+by `Steve Losh`_
+
+Mercurial has a great command line interface and many people use it without
+ever feeling the need for a GUI to manage their repositories. However, we can
+make it even better by taking advantage of Mercurial’s templating features.
+
+This repository contains three new templates for Mercurial:
+
+- Short Log
+- Nice Log
+- Short Graphlog
+
+Check out ``hg help templating`` or the chapter on `customizing the output of
+Mercurial`_ in  the Mercurial book if you want more details on how the
+templating actually works.
+
+Short Log
+=========
+
+This command will print out a log of all the changesets in the repository, one
+per line, with each line having the revision number, hash identifier, and
+summary.
+
+To use this template you can edit your ``~/.hgrc`` file to contain the
+following::
+
+    [alias]
+    slog = log --style=/full/path/to/map-cmdline.slog
+
+After adding the alias ``hg slog`` should display the short log.
+
+Nice Log
+========
+
+The short log is great a quick review of the past few changesets, but for a
+much more detailed view of a particular changeset nice log is more suitable.
+
+To use this template you can edit your ``~/.hgrc`` file to contain the
+following::
+
+    [alias]
+    nlog = log --style=/full/path/to/map-cmdline.nlog
+
+Now you should be able to display the nice log with the ``hg nlog`` command.
+
+Short Graphlog
+==============
+
+The ``graphlog`` command is wonderful for reviewing the history of repositories
+with branches, but we can make it more compact and easier to read with another
+template.
+
+To use this template you can edit your ``~/.hgrc`` file to contain the
+following::
+
+    [alias]
+    sglog = glog --style=/full/path/to/map-cmdline.sglog
+
+To show the short graphlog just type ``hg sglog``.
