17 17 <h1>Mercurial for Windows</h1>
18 18
19 19 <p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>
20 20
21 21 <p>Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
22 22 the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
23 23 href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).</p>
24 24
25 25 <p><div class="indented"><i>Note: the standard <a
26 26 href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> msys startup script uses
27 27 rxvt which has problems setting up standard input and output.
28 28 Running bash directly works correctly.</i></div>
29 29
30 30 <p>For documentation, please visit the <a
31 31 href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">Mercurial web site</a>.
32 32 You can also download a free book, <a
33 33 href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Distributed revision control
34 34 with Mercurial</a>.</p>
35 35
36 36 <p>By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Program Files\Mercurial</tt>. The
37 37 Mercurial command is called <tt>hg.exe</tt>.</p>
38 38
39 39 <h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1>
40 40
41 41 <p>The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to
42 42 just type the following at the command prompt:</p>
43 43
44 44 <pre>
45 45 hg
46 46 </pre>
47 47
48 48 <p>This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
49 49 other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.</p>
50 50
51 51 <h1>Configuration notes</h1>
52 52 <h4>Default editor</h4>
53 53 The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set the EDITOR
54 54 (or HGEDITOR) environment variable to specify your preference or set it in
55 55 mercurial.ini:
56 56 <pre>
57 57 [ui]
58 58 editor = whatever
59 59 </pre>
60 60
61 61 <h4>Configuring a Merge program</h4>
62 62 It should be emphasized that Mercurial by itself doesn't attempt to do a
63 63 Merge at the file level, neither does it make any attempt to Resolve the conflicts.
64 64
65 65 By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the HGMERGE environment
66 66 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)
