<p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p> | ||||

Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from | ||||
Bryan O'Sullivan
|
r1288 | the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a | ||
Martin Geisler
|
r8438 | href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell). | ||

<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> | ||||

By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Program | ||||
Files\Mercurial</tt>. The Mercurial command is called | ||||
<tt>hg.exe</tt>. | ||||

<h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1> | ||||
Martin Geisler
|
r8438 | <p> | ||
The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is | ||||
to just type the following at the command prompt: | ||||
</p> | ||||
Bryan O'Sullivan
|
r1288 | |||
<pre> | ||||
hg | ||||
</pre> | ||||
Martin Geisler
|
r8438 | <p> | ||
This command should print a useful help message. If it does, | ||||
other Mercurial commands should work fine for you. | ||||

Martin Geisler
|
r8438 | <h4>Default editor</h4> | ||
<p> | ||||
The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set | ||||
Martin Geisler
|
r8439 | the <tt>EDITOR</tt> (or <tt>HGEDITOR</tt>) environment variable | ||
to specify your preference or set it in <tt>mercurial.ini</tt>: | ||||

|
r8438 | <h4>Configuring a Merge program</h4> | ||
<p> | ||||
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. | ||||
</p> | ||||
Lee Cantey
|
r4386 | |||
Martin Geisler
|
r8438 | <p> | ||
By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the | ||||
Martin Geisler
|
r8439 | <tt>HGMERGE</tt> environment variable, or uses the one defined | ||
in the <tt>mercurial.ini</tt> file. (see <a | ||||
