|
18 | 18 | |
|
19 | 19 | <p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p> |
|
20 | 20 | |
|
21 | 21 | <p> |
|
22 | 22 | Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from |
|
23 | 23 | the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a |
|
24 | 24 | href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell). |
|
25 | 25 | </p> |
|
26 | 26 | |
|
27 | 27 | <p class="indented"> |
|
28 | 28 | <i>Note: the standard <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> |
|
29 | 29 | msys startup script uses rxvt which has problems setting up |
|
30 | 30 | standard input and output. Running bash directly works |
|
31 | 31 | correctly.</i> |
|
32 | 32 | </p> |

35 | 35 | For documentation, please visit the <a |
|
36 | 36 | href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">Mercurial web site</a>. |
|
37 | 37 | You can also download a free book, <a |
|
38 | 38 | href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Distributed revision control |
|
39 | 39 | with Mercurial</a>. |
|
40 | 40 | </p> |
|
41 | 41 | |
|
42 | 42 | <p> |
|
43 | 43 | By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Program |
|
44 | 44 | Files\Mercurial</tt>. The Mercurial command is called |
|
45 | 45 | <tt>hg.exe</tt>. |
|
46 | 46 | </p> |
|
47 | 47 | |
|
48 | 48 | <h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1> |
|
49 | 49 | |
|
50 | 50 | <p> |
|
51 | 51 | The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is |
|
52 | 52 | to just type the following at the command prompt: |
|
53 | 53 | </p> |
|
54 | 54 | |
|
55 | 55 | <pre> |
|
56 | 56 | hg |
|
57 | 57 | </pre> |
|
58 | 58 | |
|
59 | 59 | <p> |
|
60 | 60 | This command should print a useful help message. If it does, |
|
61 | 61 | other Mercurial commands should work fine for you. |
|
62 | 62 | </p> |
|
63 | 63 | |
|
64 | 64 | <h1>Configuration notes</h1> |
|
65 | 65 | <h4>Default editor</h4> |
|
66 | 66 | <p> |
|
67 | 67 | The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set |
|
68 |
the EDITOR (or HGEDITOR) environment variable |
|
|
69 | preference or set it in mercurial.ini: | |
|
68 | the <tt>EDITOR</tt> (or <tt>HGEDITOR</tt>) environment variable | |
|
69 | to specify your preference or set it in <tt>mercurial.ini</tt>: | |
|
70 | 70 | </p> |
|
71 | 71 | <pre> |
|
72 | 72 | [ui] |
|
73 | 73 | editor = whatever |
|
74 | 74 | </pre> |
|
75 | 75 | |
|
76 | 76 | <h4>Configuring a Merge program</h4> |
|
77 | 77 | <p> |
|
78 | 78 | It should be emphasized that Mercurial by itself doesn't attempt |
|
79 | 79 | to do a Merge at the file level, neither does it make any |
|
80 | 80 | attempt to Resolve the conflicts. |
|
81 | 81 | </p> |
|
82 | 82 | |
|
83 | 83 | <p> |
|
84 | 84 | By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the |
|
85 |
HGMERGE environment variable, or uses the one defined |
|
|
86 | mercurial.ini file. (see <a | |
|
85 | <tt>HGMERGE</tt> environment variable, or uses the one defined | |
|
86 | in the <tt>mercurial.ini</tt> file. (see <a | |
|
87 | 87 | href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/MergeProgram">MergeProgram</a> |
|
88 | 88 | on the Mercurial Wiki for more information) |
