Hg - Mercurial

Some notes about the Mercurial DVCS

.hgrc configuration file

Example vi ~/.hgrc file, with Google in mind:

[ui]
username = Mark Carter <mcturra2000@yahoo.co.uk>

[auth]
altmcarter-edpath-tweaks.prefix = https://altmcarter-edpath-tweaks.googlecode.com/hg/
altmcarter-edpath-tweaks.username = alt.mcarter@gmail.com
altmcarter-edpath-tweaks.password = [whatever]

Set privileges: chmod u=wr,og= ~/.hgrc

Pulling and merging

If you have cloned a site, and you want to incorporate upstream changes fully in with your local repo, then issue the command

hg pull -u

Note: at 08-Nov-2008: not sure if this is the full story, or if "merge" and "commit" is also required.

Bitbucket

hg clone ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/blippy/nokilli
