<p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p> | ||||
<p>Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from | ||||
the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a | ||||
href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).</p> | ||||

<p><div class="indented"><i>Note: the standard <a | ||||
href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> msys startup script uses | ||||
rxvt which has problems setting up standard input and output. | ||||
Running bash directly works correctly.</i></div> | ||||

<p>By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>. The | ||||

<h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1> | ||||
<p>The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to | ||||
just type the following at the command prompt:</p> | ||||
<pre> | ||||
hg | ||||
</pre> | ||||
<p>This command should print a useful help message. If it does, | ||||
other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.</p> | ||||

Lee Cantey
|
r4386 | <h4>Default editor</h4> | ||
The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set the EDITOR | ||||
Lee Cantey
|
r2321 | (or HGEDITOR) environment variable to specify your preference or set it in | ||
Lee Cantey
|
r4386 | mercurial.ini: | ||

[ui] | ||||
editor = whatever | ||||
</pre> | ||||

|
r4386 | <h4>Configuring a Merge program</h4> | ||
It should be emphasized that Mercurial by itself doesn't attempt to do a | ||||
Merge at the file level, neither does it make any attempt to Resolve the conflicts. | ||||
By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the HGMERGE environment | ||||
variable, or uses the one defined in the mercurial.ini file. (see <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/MergeProgram">MergeProgram</a> on the Mercurial Wiki for more information) | ||||
