r0 | Setting up Mercurial in your home directory: | ||
Note: Debian fails to include bits of distutils, you'll need | ||||
python-dev to install. Alternately, shove everything somewhere in | ||||
your path. | ||||
$ tar xvzf mercurial-<ver>.tar.gz | ||||
$ cd mercurial-<ver> | ||||
|
r63 | $ python2.3 setup.py install --home ~ | ||
|
r0 | $ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python # add this to your .bashrc | ||
$ export HGMERGE=tkmerge # customize this | ||||
$ hg # test installation, show help | ||||
If you get complaints about missing modules, you probably haven't set | ||||
PYTHONPATH correctly. | ||||
Setting up a Mercurial project: | ||||
$ cd linux/ | ||||
$ hg init # creates .hg | ||||
$ hg status # show changes between repo and working dir | ||||
$ hg diff # generate a unidiff | ||||
|
r63 | $ hg export # export a changeset as a diff | ||
|
r0 | $ hg addremove # add all unknown files and remove all missing files | ||
$ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry | ||||
Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your | ||||
repository contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in file | ||||
paths. | ||||
Mercurial commands: | ||||
$ hg history # show changesets | ||||
$ hg log Makefile # show commits per file | ||||
$ hg checkout # check out the tip revision | ||||
$ hg checkout <hash> # check out a specified changeset | ||||
$ hg add foo # add a new file for the next commit | ||||
$ hg remove bar # mark a file as removed | ||||
$ hg verify # check repo integrity | ||||
Branching and merging: | ||||
$ cd .. | ||||
$ mkdir linux-work | ||||
$ cd linux-work | ||||
$ hg branch ../linux # create a new branch | ||||
$ hg checkout # populate the working directory | ||||
$ <make changes> | ||||
$ hg commit | ||||
$ cd ../linux | ||||
$ hg merge ../linux-work # pull changesets from linux-work | ||||
Importing patches: | ||||
Fast: | ||||
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch | ||||
$ hg addremove | ||||
$ hg commit | ||||
Faster: | ||||
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch | ||||
$ hg commit `lsdiff -p1 ../p/foo.patch` | ||||
Fastest: | ||||
$ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p | ||||
|
r63 | Network support: | ||
The simple way: | ||||
|
r0 | |||
|
r1 | # pull the self-hosting hg repo | ||
foo$ hg init | ||||
foo$ hg merge http://selenic.com/hg/ | ||||
|
r27 | foo$ hg checkout # hg co works too | ||
|
r1 | |||
|
r0 | # export your .hg directory as a directory on your webserver | ||
foo$ ln -s .hg ~/public_html/hg-linux | ||||
# merge changes from a remote machine | ||||
bar$ hg merge http://foo/~user/hg-linux | ||||
|
r63 | The new, fast, experimental way: | ||
# pull the self-hosting hg repo | ||||
foo$ hg init | ||||
foo$ hg merge hg://selenic.com/hg/ | ||||
foo$ hg checkout # hg co works too | ||||
# Set up the CGI server on your webserver | ||||
foo$ ln -s .hg ~/public_html/hg-linux/.hg | ||||
foo$ cp hgweb.py ~/public_html/hg-linux/index.cgi | ||||
# merge changes from a remote machine | ||||
bar$ hg merge hg://foo/~user/hg-linux | ||||
|
r0 | |||
|
r1 | Another approach which does perform well right now is to use rsync. | ||
Simply rsync the remote repo to a read-only local copy and then do a | ||||
local pull. | ||||
