1 1 The Mercurial system uses a set of configuration files to control
2 2 aspects of its behavior.
3 3
4 4 Troubleshooting
5 5 ===============
6 6
7 7 If you're having problems with your configuration,
8 8 :hg:`config --debug` can help you understand what is introducing
9 9 a setting into your environment.
10 10
11 11 See :hg:`help config.syntax` and :hg:`help config.files`
12 12 for information about how and where to override things.
13 13
14 14 Structure
15 15 =========
16 16
17 17 The configuration files use a simple ini-file format. A configuration
18 18 file consists of sections, led by a ``[section]`` header and followed
19 19 by ``name = value`` entries::
20 20
21 21 [ui]
22 22 username = Firstname Lastname <firstname.lastname@example.net>
23 23 verbose = True
24 24
25 25 The above entries will be referred to as ``ui.username`` and
26 26 ``ui.verbose``, respectively. See :hg:`help config.syntax`.
27 27
28 28 Files
29 29 =====
30 30
31 31 Mercurial reads configuration data from several files, if they exist.
32 32 These files do not exist by default and you will have to create the
33 33 appropriate configuration files yourself:
34 34
35 35 Local configuration is put into the per-repository ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` file.
36 36
37 37 Global configuration like the username setting is typically put into:
38 38
39 39 .. container:: windows
40 40
41 41 - ``%USERPROFILE%\mercurial.ini`` (on Windows)
42 42
43 43 .. container:: unix.plan9
44 44
45 45 - ``$HOME/.hgrc`` (on Unix, Plan9)
46 46
47 47 The names of these files depend on the system on which Mercurial is
48 48 installed. ``*.rc`` files from a single directory are read in
49 49 alphabetical order, later ones overriding earlier ones. Where multiple
50 50 paths are given below, settings from earlier paths override later
51 51 ones.
52 52
53 53 .. container:: verbose.unix
54 54
55 55 On Unix, the following files are consulted:
56 56
57 57 - ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` (per-repository)
58 58 - ``$HOME/.hgrc`` (per-user)
59 59 - ``${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/hg/hgrc`` (per-user)
60 60 - ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` (per-installation)
61 61 - ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` (per-installation)
62 62 - ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` (per-system)
63 63 - ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` (per-system)
64 64 - ``<internal>/default.d/*.rc`` (defaults)
65 65
66 66 .. container:: verbose.windows
67 67
68 68 On Windows, the following files are consulted:
69 69
70 70 - ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` (per-repository)
71 71 - ``%USERPROFILE%\.hgrc`` (per-user)
72 72 - ``%USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini`` (per-user)
73 73 - ``%HOME%\.hgrc`` (per-user)
74 74 - ``%HOME%\Mercurial.ini`` (per-user)
75 75 - ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercurial`` (per-installation)
76 76 - ``<install-dir>\hgrc.d\*.rc`` (per-installation)
77 77 - ``<install-dir>\Mercurial.ini`` (per-installation)
78 78 - ``<internal>/default.d/*.rc`` (defaults)
79 79
80 80 .. note::
81 81
82 82 The registry key ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mercurial``
83 83 is used when running 32-bit Python on 64-bit Windows.
84 84
85 85 .. container:: windows
86 86
87 87 On Windows 9x, ``%HOME%`` is replaced by ``%APPDATA%``.
88 88
89 89 .. container:: verbose.plan9
90 90
91 91 On Plan9, the following files are consulted:
92 92
93 93 - ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` (per-repository)
94 94 - ``$home/lib/hgrc`` (per-user)
95 95 - ``<install-root>/lib/mercurial/hgrc`` (per-installation)
96 96 - ``<install-root>/lib/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` (per-installation)
97 97 - ``/lib/mercurial/hgrc`` (per-system)
98 98 - ``/lib/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` (per-system)
99 99 - ``<internal>/default.d/*.rc`` (defaults)
100 100
101 101 Per-repository configuration options only apply in a
102 102 particular repository. This file is not version-controlled, and
103 103 will not get transferred during a "clone" operation. Options in
104 104 this file override options in all other configuration files.
105 105
106 106 .. container:: unix.plan9
107 107
108 108 On Plan 9 and Unix, most of this file will be ignored if it doesn't
109 109 belong to a trusted user or to a trusted group. See
110 110 :hg:`help config.trusted` for more details.
111 111
112 112 Per-user configuration file(s) are for the user running Mercurial. Options
113 113 in these files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by this user in any
114 114 directory. Options in these files override per-system and per-installation
115 115 options.
116 116
117 117 Per-installation configuration files are searched for in the
118 118 directory where Mercurial is installed. ``<install-root>`` is the
119 119 parent directory of the **hg** executable (or symlink) being run.
120 120
121 121 .. container:: unix.plan9
122 122
123 123 For example, if installed in ``/shared/tools/bin/hg``, Mercurial
124 124 will look in ``/shared/tools/etc/mercurial/hgrc``. Options in these
125 125 files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by any user in any
126 126 directory.
127 127
128 128 Per-installation configuration files are for the system on
129 129 which Mercurial is running. Options in these files apply to all
130 130 Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory. Registry
131 131 keys contain PATH-like strings, every part of which must reference
132 132 a ``Mercurial.ini`` file or be a directory where ``*.rc`` files will
133 133 be read. Mercurial checks each of these locations in the specified
134 134 order until one or more configuration files are detected.
135 135
136 136 Per-system configuration files are for the system on which Mercurial
137 137 is running. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands
138 138 executed by any user in any directory. Options in these files
139 139 override per-installation options.
140 140
141 141 Mercurial comes with some default configuration. The default configuration
142 142 files are installed with Mercurial and will be overwritten on upgrades. Default
143 143 configuration files should never be edited by users or administrators but can
144 144 be overridden in other configuration files. So far the directory only contains
145 145 merge tool configuration but packagers can also put other default configuration
146 146 there.
147 147
148 148 Syntax
149 149 ======
150 150
151 151 A configuration file consists of sections, led by a ``[section]`` header
152 152 and followed by ``name = value`` entries (sometimes called
153 153 ``configuration keys``)::
154 154
155 155 [spam]
156 156 eggs=ham
157 157 green=
158 158 eggs
159 159
160 160 Each line contains one entry. If the lines that follow are indented,
161 161 they are treated as continuations of that entry. Leading whitespace is
162 162 removed from values. Empty lines are skipped. Lines beginning with
163 163 ``#`` or ``;`` are ignored and may be used to provide comments.
164 164
165 165 Configuration keys can be set multiple times, in which case Mercurial
166 166 will use the value that was configured last. As an example::
167 167
168 168 [spam]
169 169 eggs=large
170 170 ham=serrano
171 171 eggs=small
172 172
173 173 This would set the configuration key named ``eggs`` to ``small``.
174 174
175 175 It is also possible to define a section multiple times. A section can
176 176 be redefined on the same and/or on different configuration files. For
177 177 example::
178 178
179 179 [foo]
180 180 eggs=large
181 181 ham=serrano
182 182 eggs=small
183 183
184 184 [bar]
185 185 eggs=ham
186 186 green=
187 187 eggs
188 188
189 189 [foo]
190 190 ham=prosciutto
191 191 eggs=medium
192 192 bread=toasted
193 193
194 194 This would set the ``eggs``, ``ham``, and ``bread`` configuration keys
195 195 of the ``foo`` section to ``medium``, ``prosciutto``, and ``toasted``,
196 196 respectively. As you can see there only thing that matters is the last
197 197 value that was set for each of the configuration keys.
198 198
199 199 If a configuration key is set multiple times in different
200 200 configuration files the final value will depend on the order in which
201 201 the different configuration files are read, with settings from earlier
202 202 paths overriding later ones as described on the ``Files`` section
203 203 above.
204 204
205 205 A line of the form ``%include file`` will include ``file`` into the
206 206 current configuration file. The inclusion is recursive, which means
207 207 that included files can include other files. Filenames are relative to
208 208 the configuration file in which the ``%include`` directive is found.
209 209 Environment variables and ``~user`` constructs are expanded in
210 210 ``file``. This lets you do something like::
211 211
212 212 %include ~/.hgrc.d/$HOST.rc
213 213
214 214 to include a different configuration file on each computer you use.
215 215
216 216 A line with ``%unset name`` will remove ``name`` from the current
217 217 section, if it has been set previously.
218 218
219 219 The values are either free-form text strings, lists of text strings,
220 220 or Boolean values. Boolean values can be set to true using any of "1",
221 221 "yes", "true", or "on" and to false using "0", "no", "false", or "off"
222 222 (all case insensitive).
223 223
224 224 List values are separated by whitespace or comma, except when values are
225 225 placed in double quotation marks::
226 226
227 227 allow_read = "John Doe, PhD", brian, betty
228 228
229 229 Quotation marks can be escaped by prefixing them with a backslash. Only
230 230 quotation marks at the beginning of a word is counted as a quotation
231 231 (e.g., ``foo"bar baz`` is the list of ``foo"bar`` and ``baz``).
232 232
233 233 Sections
234 234 ========
235 235
236 236 This section describes the different sections that may appear in a
237 237 Mercurial configuration file, the purpose of each section, its possible
238 238 keys, and their possible values.
239 239
240 240 ``alias``
241 241 ---------
242 242
243 243 Defines command aliases.
244 244
245 245 Aliases allow you to define your own commands in terms of other
246 246 commands (or aliases), optionally including arguments. Positional
247 247 arguments in the form of ``$1``, ``$2``, etc. in the alias definition
248 248 are expanded by Mercurial before execution. Positional arguments not
249 249 already used by ``$N`` in the definition are put at the end of the
250 250 command to be executed.
251 251
252 252 Alias definitions consist of lines of the form::
253 253
254 254 <alias> = <command> [<argument>]...
255 255
256 256 For example, this definition::
257 257
258 258 latest = log --limit 5
259 259
260 260 creates a new command ``latest`` that shows only the five most recent
261 261 changesets. You can define subsequent aliases using earlier ones::
262 262
263 263 stable5 = latest -b stable
264 264
265 265 .. note::
266 266
267 267 It is possible to create aliases with the same names as
268 268 existing commands, which will then override the original
269 269 definitions. This is almost always a bad idea!
270 270
271 271 An alias can start with an exclamation point (``!``) to make it a
272 272 shell alias. A shell alias is executed with the shell and will let you
273 273 run arbitrary commands. As an example, ::
274 274
275 275 echo = !echo $@
276 276
277 277 will let you do ``hg echo foo`` to have ``foo`` printed in your
278 278 terminal. A better example might be::
279 279
280 280 purge = !$HG status --no-status --unknown -0 re: | xargs -0 rm -f
281 281
282 282 which will make ``hg purge`` delete all unknown files in the
283 283 repository in the same manner as the purge extension.
284 284
285 285 Positional arguments like ``$1``, ``$2``, etc. in the alias definition
286 286 expand to the command arguments. Unmatched arguments are
287 287 removed. ``$0`` expands to the alias name and ``$@`` expands to all
288 288 arguments separated by a space. ``"$@"`` (with quotes) expands to all
289 289 arguments quoted individually and separated by a space. These expansions
290 290 happen before the command is passed to the shell.
291 291
292 292 Shell aliases are executed in an environment where ``$HG`` expands to
293 293 the path of the Mercurial that was used to execute the alias. This is
294 294 useful when you want to call further Mercurial commands in a shell
295 295 alias, as was done above for the purge alias. In addition,
296 296 ``$HG_ARGS`` expands to the arguments given to Mercurial. In the ``hg
297 297 echo foo`` call above, ``$HG_ARGS`` would expand to ``echo foo``.
298 298
299 299 .. note::
300 300
301 301 Some global configuration options such as ``-R`` are
302 302 processed before shell aliases and will thus not be passed to
303 303 aliases.
304 304
305 305
306 306 ``annotate``
307 307 ------------
308 308
309 309 Settings used when displaying file annotations. All values are
310 310 Booleans and default to False. See :hg:`help config.diff` for
311 311 related options for the diff command.
312 312
313 313 ``ignorews``
314 314 Ignore white space when comparing lines.
315 315
316 316 ``ignorewsamount``
317 317 Ignore changes in the amount of white space.
318 318
319 319 ``ignoreblanklines``
320 320 Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.
321 321
322 322
323 323 ``auth``
324 324 --------
325 325
326 326 Authentication credentials and other authentication-like configuration
327 327 for HTTP connections. This section allows you to store usernames and
328 328 passwords for use when logging *into* HTTP servers. See
329 329 :hg:`help config.web` if you want to configure *who* can login to
330 330 your HTTP server.
331 331
332 332 The following options apply to all hosts.
333 333
334 334 ``cookiefile``
335 335 Path to a file containing HTTP cookie lines. Cookies matching a
336 336 host will be sent automatically.
337 337
338 338 The file format uses the Mozilla cookies.txt format, which defines cookies
339 339 on their own lines. Each line contains 7 fields delimited by the tab
340 340 character (domain, is_domain_cookie, path, is_secure, expires, name,
341 341 value). For more info, do an Internet search for "Netscape cookies.txt
342 342 format."
343 343
344 344 Note: the cookies parser does not handle port numbers on domains. You
345 345 will need to remove ports from the domain for the cookie to be recognized.
346 346 This could result in a cookie being disclosed to an unwanted server.
347 347
348 348 The cookies file is read-only.
349 349
350 350 Other options in this section are grouped by name and have the following
351 351 format::
352 352
353 353 <name>.<argument> = <value>
354 354
355 355 where ``<name>`` is used to group arguments into authentication
356 356 entries. Example::
357 357
358 358 foo.prefix = hg.intevation.de/mercurial
359 359 foo.username = foo
360 360 foo.password = bar
361 361 foo.schemes = http https
362 362
363 363 bar.prefix = secure.example.org
364 364 bar.key = path/to/file.key
365 365 bar.cert = path/to/file.cert
366 366 bar.schemes = https
367 367
368 368 Supported arguments:
369 369
370 370 ``prefix``
371 371 Either ``*`` or a URI prefix with or without the scheme part.
372 372 The authentication entry with the longest matching prefix is used
373 373 (where ``*`` matches everything and counts as a match of length
374 374 1). If the prefix doesn't include a scheme, the match is performed
375 375 against the URI with its scheme stripped as well, and the schemes
376 376 argument, q.v., is then subsequently consulted.
377 377
378 378 ``username``
379 379 Optional. Username to authenticate with. If not given, and the
380 380 remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user will
381 381 be prompted for it. Environment variables are expanded in the
382 382 username letting you do ``foo.username = $USER``. If the URI
383 383 includes a username, only ``[auth]`` entries with a matching
384 384 username or without a username will be considered.
385 385
386 386 ``password``
387 387 Optional. Password to authenticate with. If not given, and the
388 388 remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user
389 389 will be prompted for it.
390 390
391 391 ``key``
392 392 Optional. PEM encoded client certificate key file. Environment
393 393 variables are expanded in the filename.
394 394
395 395 ``cert``
396 396 Optional. PEM encoded client certificate chain file. Environment
397 397 variables are expanded in the filename.
398 398
399 399 ``schemes``
400 400 Optional. Space separated list of URI schemes to use this
401 401 authentication entry with. Only used if the prefix doesn't include
402 402 a scheme. Supported schemes are http and https. They will match
403 403 static-http and static-https respectively, as well.
404 404 (default: https)
405 405
406 406 If no suitable authentication entry is found, the user is prompted
407 407 for credentials as usual if required by the remote.
408 408
409 409 ``color``
410 410 ---------
411 411
412 412 Configure the Mercurial color mode. For details about how to define your custom
413 413 effect and style see :hg:`help color`.
414 414
415 415 ``mode``
416 416 String: control the method used to output color. One of ``auto``, ``ansi``,
417 417 ``win32``, ``terminfo`` or ``debug``. In auto mode, Mercurial will
418 418 use ANSI mode by default (or win32 mode on Windows) if it detects a
419 419 terminal. Any invalid value will disable color.
420 420
421 421 ``pagermode``
422 422 String: optinal override of ``color.mode`` used with pager.
423 423
424 424 On some systems, terminfo mode may cause problems when using
425 425 color with ``less -R`` as a pager program. less with the -R option
426 426 will only display ECMA-48 color codes, and terminfo mode may sometimes
427 427 emit codes that less doesn't understand. You can work around this by
428 428 either using ansi mode (or auto mode), or by using less -r (which will
429 429 pass through all terminal control codes, not just color control
430 430 codes).
431 431
432 432 On some systems (such as MSYS in Windows), the terminal may support
433 433 a different color mode than the pager program.
434 434
435 435 ``commands``
436 436 ------------
437 437
438 438 ``status.relative``
439 439 Make paths in :hg:`status` output relative to the current directory.
440 440 (default: False)
441 441
442 442 ``update.requiredest``
443 443 Require that the user pass a destination when running :hg:`update`.
444 444 For example, :hg:`update .::` will be allowed, but a plain :hg:`update`
445 445 will be disallowed.
446 446 (default: False)
447 447
448 448 ``committemplate``
449 449 ------------------
450 450
451 451 ``changeset``
452 452 String: configuration in this section is used as the template to
453 453 customize the text shown in the editor when committing.
454 454
455 455 In addition to pre-defined template keywords, commit log specific one
456 456 below can be used for customization:
457 457
458 458 ``extramsg``
459 459 String: Extra message (typically 'Leave message empty to abort
460 460 commit.'). This may be changed by some commands or extensions.
461 461
462 462 For example, the template configuration below shows as same text as
463 463 one shown by default::
464 464
465 465 [committemplate]
466 466 changeset = {desc}\n\n
467 467 HG: Enter commit message. Lines beginning with 'HG:' are removed.

479 479
480 480 ``diff()``
481 481 String: show the diff (see :hg:`help templates` for detail)
482 482
483 483 Sometimes it is helpful to show the diff of the changeset in the editor without
484 484 having to prefix 'HG: ' to each line so that highlighting works correctly. For
485 485 this, Mercurial provides a special string which will ignore everything below
486 486 it::
487 487
488 488 HG: ------------------------ >8 ------------------------
489 489
490 490 For example, the template configuration below will show the diff below the
491 491 extra message::
492 492
493 493 [committemplate]
494 494 changeset = {desc}\n\n
495 495 HG: Enter commit message. Lines beginning with 'HG:' are removed.
496 496 HG: {extramsg}
497 497 HG: ------------------------ >8 ------------------------
498 498 HG: Do not touch the line above.
499 499 HG: Everything below will be removed.
500 500 {diff()}
501 501
502 502 .. note::
503 503
504 504 For some problematic encodings (see :hg:`help win32mbcs` for
505 505 detail), this customization should be configured carefully, to
506 506 avoid showing broken characters.
507 507
508 508 For example, if a multibyte character ending with backslash (0x5c) is
509 509 followed by the ASCII character 'n' in the customized template,
510 510 the sequence of backslash and 'n' is treated as line-feed unexpectedly
511 511 (and the multibyte character is broken, too).
512 512
513 513 Customized template is used for commands below (``--edit`` may be
514 514 required):
515 515
516 516 - :hg:`backout`
517 517 - :hg:`commit`
518 518 - :hg:`fetch` (for merge commit only)
519 519 - :hg:`graft`
520 520 - :hg:`histedit`
521 521 - :hg:`import`
522 522 - :hg:`qfold`, :hg:`qnew` and :hg:`qrefresh`
523 523 - :hg:`rebase`
524 524 - :hg:`shelve`
525 525 - :hg:`sign`
526 526 - :hg:`tag`
527 527 - :hg:`transplant`
528 528
529 529 Configuring items below instead of ``changeset`` allows showing
530 530 customized message only for specific actions, or showing different
531 531 messages for each action.
532 532
533 533 - ``changeset.backout`` for :hg:`backout`
534 534 - ``changeset.commit.amend.merge`` for :hg:`commit --amend` on merges
535 535 - ``changeset.commit.amend.normal`` for :hg:`commit --amend` on other
536 536 - ``changeset.commit.normal.merge`` for :hg:`commit` on merges
537 537 - ``changeset.commit.normal.normal`` for :hg:`commit` on other
538 538 - ``changeset.fetch`` for :hg:`fetch` (impling merge commit)
539 539 - ``changeset.gpg.sign`` for :hg:`sign`
540 540 - ``changeset.graft`` for :hg:`graft`
541 541 - ``changeset.histedit.edit`` for ``edit`` of :hg:`histedit`
542 542 - ``changeset.histedit.fold`` for ``fold`` of :hg:`histedit`
543 543 - ``changeset.histedit.mess`` for ``mess`` of :hg:`histedit`
544 544 - ``changeset.histedit.pick`` for ``pick`` of :hg:`histedit`
545 545 - ``changeset.import.bypass`` for :hg:`import --bypass`
546 546 - ``changeset.import.normal.merge`` for :hg:`import` on merges
547 547 - ``changeset.import.normal.normal`` for :hg:`import` on other
548 548 - ``changeset.mq.qnew`` for :hg:`qnew`
549 549 - ``changeset.mq.qfold`` for :hg:`qfold`
550 550 - ``changeset.mq.qrefresh`` for :hg:`qrefresh`
551 551 - ``changeset.rebase.collapse`` for :hg:`rebase --collapse`
552 552 - ``changeset.rebase.merge`` for :hg:`rebase` on merges
553 553 - ``changeset.rebase.normal`` for :hg:`rebase` on other
554 554 - ``changeset.shelve.shelve`` for :hg:`shelve`
555 555 - ``changeset.tag.add`` for :hg:`tag` without ``--remove``
556 556 - ``changeset.tag.remove`` for :hg:`tag --remove`
557 557 - ``changeset.transplant.merge`` for :hg:`transplant` on merges
558 558 - ``changeset.transplant.normal`` for :hg:`transplant` on other
559 559
560 560 These dot-separated lists of names are treated as hierarchical ones.
561 561 For example, ``changeset.tag.remove`` customizes the commit message
562 562 only for :hg:`tag --remove`, but ``changeset.tag`` customizes the
563 563 commit message for :hg:`tag` regardless of ``--remove`` option.
564 564
565 565 When the external editor is invoked for a commit, the corresponding
566 566 dot-separated list of names without the ``changeset.`` prefix
567 567 (e.g. ``commit.normal.normal``) is in the ``HGEDITFORM`` environment
568 568 variable.
569 569
570 570 In this section, items other than ``changeset`` can be referred from
571 571 others. For example, the configuration to list committed files up
572 572 below can be referred as ``{listupfiles}``::
573 573
574 574 [committemplate]
575 575 listupfiles = {file_adds %
576 576 "HG: added {file}\n" }{file_mods %
577 577 "HG: changed {file}\n" }{file_dels %
578 578 "HG: removed {file}\n" }{if(files, "",
579 579 "HG: no files changed\n")}
580 580
581 581 ``decode/encode``
582 582 -----------------
583 583
584 584 Filters for transforming files on checkout/checkin. This would
585 585 typically be used for newline processing or other
586 586 localization/canonicalization of files.
587 587
588 588 Filters consist of a filter pattern followed by a filter command.
589 589 Filter patterns are globs by default, rooted at the repository root.
590 590 For example, to match any file ending in ``.txt`` in the root
591 591 directory only, use the pattern ``*.txt``. To match any file ending
592 592 in ``.c`` anywhere in the repository, use the pattern ``**.c``.
593 593 For each file only the first matching filter applies.
594 594
595 595 The filter command can start with a specifier, either ``pipe:`` or
596 596 ``tempfile:``. If no specifier is given, ``pipe:`` is used by default.
597 597
598 598 A ``pipe:`` command must accept data on stdin and return the transformed
599 599 data on stdout.
600 600
601 601 Pipe example::
602 602
603 603 [encode]
604 604 # uncompress gzip files on checkin to improve delta compression
605 605 # note: not necessarily a good idea, just an example
606 606 *.gz = pipe: gunzip
607 607
608 608 [decode]
609 609 # recompress gzip files when writing them to the working dir (we
610 610 # can safely omit "pipe:", because it's the default)
611 611 *.gz = gzip
612 612
613 613 A ``tempfile:`` command is a template. The string ``INFILE`` is replaced
614 614 with the name of a temporary file that contains the data to be
615 615 filtered by the command. The string ``OUTFILE`` is replaced with the name
616 616 of an empty temporary file, where the filtered data must be written by
617 617 the command.
618 618
619 619 .. container:: windows
620 620
621 621 .. note::
622 622
623 623 The tempfile mechanism is recommended for Windows systems,
624 624 where the standard shell I/O redirection operators often have
625 625 strange effects and may corrupt the contents of your files.
626 626
627 627 This filter mechanism is used internally by the ``eol`` extension to
628 628 translate line ending characters between Windows (CRLF) and Unix (LF)
629 629 format. We suggest you use the ``eol`` extension for convenience.
630 630
631 631
632 632 ``defaults``
633 633 ------------
634 634
635 635 (defaults are deprecated. Don't use them. Use aliases instead.)
636 636
637 637 Use the ``[defaults]`` section to define command defaults, i.e. the
638 638 default options/arguments to pass to the specified commands.
639 639
640 640 The following example makes :hg:`log` run in verbose mode, and
641 641 :hg:`status` show only the modified files, by default::
642 642
643 643 [defaults]
644 644 log = -v
645 645 status = -m
646 646
647 647 The actual commands, instead of their aliases, must be used when
648 648 defining command defaults. The command defaults will also be applied
649 649 to the aliases of the commands defined.
650 650
651 651
652 652 ``diff``
653 653 --------
654 654
655 655 Settings used when displaying diffs. Everything except for ``unified``
656 656 is a Boolean and defaults to False. See :hg:`help config.annotate`
657 657 for related options for the annotate command.
658 658
659 659 ``git``
660 660 Use git extended diff format.
661 661
662 662 ``nobinary``
663 663 Omit git binary patches.
664 664
665 665 ``nodates``
666 666 Don't include dates in diff headers.
667 667
668 668 ``noprefix``
669 669 Omit 'a/' and 'b/' prefixes from filenames. Ignored in plain mode.
670 670
671 671 ``showfunc``
672 672 Show which function each change is in.
673 673
674 674 ``ignorews``
675 675 Ignore white space when comparing lines.
676 676
677 677 ``ignorewsamount``
678 678 Ignore changes in the amount of white space.
679 679
680 680 ``ignoreblanklines``
681 681 Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.
682 682
683 683 ``unified``
684 684 Number of lines of context to show.
685 685
686 686 ``email``
687 687 ---------
688 688
689 689 Settings for extensions that send email messages.
690 690
691 691 ``from``
692 692 Optional. Email address to use in "From" header and SMTP envelope
693 693 of outgoing messages.
694 694
695 695 ``to``
696 696 Optional. Comma-separated list of recipients' email addresses.
697 697
698 698 ``cc``
699 699 Optional. Comma-separated list of carbon copy recipients'
700 700 email addresses.
701 701
702 702 ``bcc``
703 703 Optional. Comma-separated list of blind carbon copy recipients'
704 704 email addresses.
705 705
706 706 ``method``
707 707 Optional. Method to use to send email messages. If value is ``smtp``
708 708 (default), use SMTP (see the ``[smtp]`` section for configuration).
709 709 Otherwise, use as name of program to run that acts like sendmail
710 710 (takes ``-f`` option for sender, list of recipients on command line,
711 711 message on stdin). Normally, setting this to ``sendmail`` or
712 712 ``/usr/sbin/sendmail`` is enough to use sendmail to send messages.
713 713
714 714 ``charsets``
715 715 Optional. Comma-separated list of character sets considered
716 716 convenient for recipients. Addresses, headers, and parts not
717 717 containing patches of outgoing messages will be encoded in the
718 718 first character set to which conversion from local encoding
719 719 (``$HGENCODING``, ``ui.fallbackencoding``) succeeds. If correct
720 720 conversion fails, the text in question is sent as is.
721 721 (default: '')
722 722
723 723 Order of outgoing email character sets:
724 724
725 725 1. ``us-ascii``: always first, regardless of settings
726 726 2. ``email.charsets``: in order given by user
727 727 3. ``ui.fallbackencoding``: if not in email.charsets
728 728 4. ``$HGENCODING``: if not in email.charsets
729 729 5. ``utf-8``: always last, regardless of settings
730 730
731 731 Email example::
732 732
733 733 [email]
734 734 from = Joseph User <joe.user@example.com>
735 735 method = /usr/sbin/sendmail
736 736 # charsets for western Europeans
737 737 # us-ascii, utf-8 omitted, as they are tried first and last
738 738 charsets = iso-8859-1, iso-8859-15, windows-1252
739 739
740 740
741 741 ``extensions``
742 742 --------------
743 743
744 744 Mercurial has an extension mechanism for adding new features. To
745 745 enable an extension, create an entry for it in this section.
746 746
747 747 If you know that the extension is already in Python's search path,
748 748 you can give the name of the module, followed by ``=``, with nothing
749 749 after the ``=``.
750 750
751 751 Otherwise, give a name that you choose, followed by ``=``, followed by
752 752 the path to the ``.py`` file (including the file name extension) that
753 753 defines the extension.
754 754
755 755 To explicitly disable an extension that is enabled in an hgrc of
756 756 broader scope, prepend its path with ``!``, as in ``foo = !/ext/path``
757 757 or ``foo = !`` when path is not supplied.
758 758
759 759 Example for ``~/.hgrc``::
760 760
761 761 [extensions]
762 762 # (the churn extension will get loaded from Mercurial's path)
763 763 churn =
764 764 # (this extension will get loaded from the file specified)
765 765 myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
766 766
767 767
768 768 ``format``
769 769 ----------
770 770
771 771 ``usegeneraldelta``
772 772 Enable or disable the "generaldelta" repository format which improves
773 773 repository compression by allowing "revlog" to store delta against arbitrary
774 774 revision instead of the previous stored one. This provides significant
775 775 improvement for repositories with branches.
776 776
777 777 Repositories with this on-disk format require Mercurial version 1.9.
778 778
779 779 Enabled by default.
780 780
781 781 ``dotencode``
782 782 Enable or disable the "dotencode" repository format which enhances
783 783 the "fncache" repository format (which has to be enabled to use
784 784 dotencode) to avoid issues with filenames starting with ._ on
785 785 Mac OS X and spaces on Windows.
786 786
787 787 Repositories with this on-disk format require Mercurial version 1.7.
788 788
789 789 Enabled by default.
790 790
791 791 ``usefncache``
792 792 Enable or disable the "fncache" repository format which enhances
793 793 the "store" repository format (which has to be enabled to use
794 794 fncache) to allow longer filenames and avoids using Windows
795 795 reserved names, e.g. "nul".
796 796
797 797 Repositories with this on-disk format require Mercurial version 1.1.
798 798
799 799 Enabled by default.
800 800
801 801 ``usestore``
802 802 Enable or disable the "store" repository format which improves
803 803 compatibility with systems that fold case or otherwise mangle
804 804 filenames. Disabling this option will allow you to store longer filenames
805 805 in some situations at the expense of compatibility.
806 806
807 807 Repositories with this on-disk format require Mercurial version 0.9.4.
808 808
809 809 Enabled by default.
810 810
811 811 ``graph``
812 812 ---------
813 813
814 814 Web graph view configuration. This section let you change graph
815 815 elements display properties by branches, for instance to make the
816 816 ``default`` branch stand out.
817 817
818 818 Each line has the following format::
819 819
820 820 <branch>.<argument> = <value>
821 821
822 822 where ``<branch>`` is the name of the branch being
823 823 customized. Example::
824 824
825 825 [graph]
826 826 # 2px width
827 827 default.width = 2
828 828 # red color
829 829 default.color = FF0000
830 830
831 831 Supported arguments:
832 832
833 833 ``width``
834 834 Set branch edges width in pixels.
835 835
836 836 ``color``
837 837 Set branch edges color in hexadecimal RGB notation.
838 838
839 839 ``hooks``
840 840 ---------
841 841
842 842 Commands or Python functions that get automatically executed by
843 843 various actions such as starting or finishing a commit. Multiple
844 844 hooks can be run for the same action by appending a suffix to the
845 845 action. Overriding a site-wide hook can be done by changing its
846 846 value or setting it to an empty string. Hooks can be prioritized
847 847 by adding a prefix of ``priority.`` to the hook name on a new line
848 848 and setting the priority. The default priority is 0.
849 849
850 850 Example ``.hg/hgrc``::
851 851
852 852 [hooks]
853 853 # update working directory after adding changesets
854 854 changegroup.update = hg update
855 855 # do not use the site-wide hook
856 856 incoming =
857 857 incoming.email = /my/email/hook
858 858 incoming.autobuild = /my/build/hook
859 859 # force autobuild hook to run before other incoming hooks
860 860 priority.incoming.autobuild = 1
861 861
862 862 Most hooks are run with environment variables set that give useful
863 863 additional information. For each hook below, the environment variables
864 864 it is passed are listed with names of the form ``$HG_foo``. The
865 865 ``$HG_HOOKTYPE`` and ``$HG_HOOKNAME`` variables are set for all hooks.
866 866 their respectively contains the type of hook which triggered the run and
867 867 the full name of the hooks in the config. In the example about this will
868 868 be ``$HG_HOOKTYPE=incoming`` and ``$HG_HOOKNAME=incoming.email``.
869 869
870 870 ``changegroup``
871 871 Run after a changegroup has been added via push, pull or unbundle. ID of the
872 872 first new changeset is in ``$HG_NODE`` and last in ``$HG_NODE_LAST``. URL
873 873 from which changes came is in ``$HG_URL``.
874 874
875 875 ``commit``
876 876 Run after a changeset has been created in the local repository. ID
877 877 of the newly created changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``. Parent changeset
878 878 IDs are in ``$HG_PARENT1`` and ``$HG_PARENT2``.
879 879
880 880 ``incoming``
881 881 Run after a changeset has been pulled, pushed, or unbundled into
882 882 the local repository. The ID of the newly arrived changeset is in
883 883 ``$HG_NODE``. URL that was source of changes came is in ``$HG_URL``.
884 884
885 885 ``outgoing``
886 886 Run after sending changes from local repository to another. ID of
887 887 first changeset sent is in ``$HG_NODE``. Source of operation is in
888 888 ``$HG_SOURCE``; Also see :hg:`help config.hooks.preoutgoing` hook.
889 889
890 890 ``post-<command>``
891 891 Run after successful invocations of the associated command. The
892 892 contents of the command line are passed as ``$HG_ARGS`` and the result
893 893 code in ``$HG_RESULT``. Parsed command line arguments are passed as
894 894 ``$HG_PATS`` and ``$HG_OPTS``. These contain string representations of
895 895 the python data internally passed to <command>. ``$HG_OPTS`` is a
896 896 dictionary of options (with unspecified options set to their defaults).
897 897 ``$HG_PATS`` is a list of arguments. Hook failure is ignored.
898 898
899 899 ``fail-<command>``
900 900 Run after a failed invocation of an associated command. The contents
901 901 of the command line are passed as ``$HG_ARGS``. Parsed command line
902 902 arguments are passed as ``$HG_PATS`` and ``$HG_OPTS``. These contain
903 903 string representations of the python data internally passed to
904 904 <command>. ``$HG_OPTS`` is a dictionary of options (with unspecified
905 905 options set to their defaults). ``$HG_PATS`` is a list of arguments.
906 906 Hook failure is ignored.
907 907
908 908 ``pre-<command>``
909 909 Run before executing the associated command. The contents of the
910 910 command line are passed as ``$HG_ARGS``. Parsed command line arguments
911 911 are passed as ``$HG_PATS`` and ``$HG_OPTS``. These contain string
912 912 representations of the data internally passed to <command>. ``$HG_OPTS``
913 913 is a dictionary of options (with unspecified options set to their
914 914 defaults). ``$HG_PATS`` is a list of arguments. If the hook returns
915 915 failure, the command doesn't execute and Mercurial returns the failure
916 916 code.
917 917
918 918 ``prechangegroup``
919 919 Run before a changegroup is added via push, pull or unbundle. Exit
920 920 status 0 allows the changegroup to proceed. Non-zero status will
921 921 cause the push, pull or unbundle to fail. URL from which changes
922 922 will come is in ``$HG_URL``.
923 923
924 924 ``precommit``
925 925 Run before starting a local commit. Exit status 0 allows the
926 926 commit to proceed. Non-zero status will cause the commit to fail.
927 927 Parent changeset IDs are in ``$HG_PARENT1`` and ``$HG_PARENT2``.
928 928
929 929 ``prelistkeys``
930 930 Run before listing pushkeys (like bookmarks) in the
931 931 repository. Non-zero status will cause failure. The key namespace is
932 932 in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``.
933 933
934 934 ``preoutgoing``
935 935 Run before collecting changes to send from the local repository to
936 936 another. Non-zero status will cause failure. This lets you prevent
937 937 pull over HTTP or SSH. Also prevents against local pull, push
938 938 (outbound) or bundle commands, but not effective, since you can
939 939 just copy files instead then. Source of operation is in
940 940 ``$HG_SOURCE``. If "serve", operation is happening on behalf of remote
941 941 SSH or HTTP repository. If "push", "pull" or "bundle", operation
942 942 is happening on behalf of repository on same system.
943 943
944 944 ``prepushkey``
945 945 Run before a pushkey (like a bookmark) is added to the
946 946 repository. Non-zero status will cause the key to be rejected. The
947 947 key namespace is in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``, the key is in ``$HG_KEY``,
948 948 the old value (if any) is in ``$HG_OLD``, and the new value is in
949 949 ``$HG_NEW``.
950 950
951 951 ``pretag``
952 952 Run before creating a tag. Exit status 0 allows the tag to be
953 953 created. Non-zero status will cause the tag to fail. ID of
954 954 changeset to tag is in ``$HG_NODE``. Name of tag is in ``$HG_TAG``. Tag is
955 955 local if ``$HG_LOCAL=1``, in repository if ``$HG_LOCAL=0``.
956 956
957 957 ``pretxnopen``
958 958 Run before any new repository transaction is open. The reason for the
959 959 transaction will be in ``$HG_TXNNAME`` and a unique identifier for the
960 960 transaction will be in ``HG_TXNID``. A non-zero status will prevent the
961 961 transaction from being opened.
962 962
963 963 ``pretxnclose``
964 964 Run right before the transaction is actually finalized. Any repository change
965 965 will be visible to the hook program. This lets you validate the transaction
966 966 content or change it. Exit status 0 allows the commit to proceed. Non-zero
967 967 status will cause the transaction to be rolled back. The reason for the
968 968 transaction opening will be in ``$HG_TXNNAME`` and a unique identifier for
969 969 the transaction will be in ``HG_TXNID``. The rest of the available data will
970 970 vary according the transaction type. New changesets will add ``$HG_NODE`` (id
971 971 of the first added changeset), ``$HG_NODE_LAST`` (id of the last added
972 972 changeset), ``$HG_URL`` and ``$HG_SOURCE`` variables, bookmarks and phases
973 973 changes will set ``HG_BOOKMARK_MOVED`` and ``HG_PHASES_MOVED`` to ``1``, etc.
974 974
975 975 ``txnclose``
976 976 Run after any repository transaction has been committed. At this
977 977 point, the transaction can no longer be rolled back. The hook will run
978 978 after the lock is released. See :hg:`help config.hooks.pretxnclose` docs for
979 979 details about available variables.
980 980
981 981 ``txnabort``
982 982 Run when a transaction is aborted. See :hg:`help config.hooks.pretxnclose`
983 983 docs for details about available variables.
984 984
985 985 ``pretxnchangegroup``
986 986 Run after a changegroup has been added via push, pull or unbundle, but before
987 987 the transaction has been committed. Changegroup is visible to hook program.
988 988 This lets you validate incoming changes before accepting them. Passed the ID
989 989 of the first new changeset in ``$HG_NODE`` and last in ``$HG_NODE_LAST``.
990 990 Exit status 0 allows the transaction to commit. Non-zero status will cause
991 991 the transaction to be rolled back and the push, pull or unbundle will fail.
992 992 URL that was source of changes is in ``$HG_URL``.
993 993
994 994 ``pretxncommit``
995 995 Run after a changeset has been created but the transaction not yet
996 996 committed. Changeset is visible to hook program. This lets you
997 997 validate commit message and changes. Exit status 0 allows the
998 998 commit to proceed. Non-zero status will cause the transaction to
999 999 be rolled back. ID of changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``. Parent changeset
1000 1000 IDs are in ``$HG_PARENT1`` and ``$HG_PARENT2``.
1001 1001
1002 1002 ``preupdate``
1003 1003 Run before updating the working directory. Exit status 0 allows
1004 1004 the update to proceed. Non-zero status will prevent the update.
1005 1005 Changeset ID of first new parent is in ``$HG_PARENT1``. If merge, ID
1006 1006 of second new parent is in ``$HG_PARENT2``.
1007 1007
1008 1008 ``listkeys``
1009 1009 Run after listing pushkeys (like bookmarks) in the repository. The
1010 1010 key namespace is in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``. ``$HG_VALUES`` is a
1011 1011 dictionary containing the keys and values.
1012 1012
1013 1013 ``pushkey``
1014 1014 Run after a pushkey (like a bookmark) is added to the
1015 1015 repository. The key namespace is in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``, the key is in
1016 1016 ``$HG_KEY``, the old value (if any) is in ``$HG_OLD``, and the new
1017 1017 value is in ``$HG_NEW``.
1018 1018
1019 1019 ``tag``
1020 1020 Run after a tag is created. ID of tagged changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``.
1021 1021 Name of tag is in ``$HG_TAG``. Tag is local if ``$HG_LOCAL=1``, in
1022 1022 repository if ``$HG_LOCAL=0``.
1023 1023
1024 1024 ``update``
1025 1025 Run after updating the working directory. Changeset ID of first
1026 1026 new parent is in ``$HG_PARENT1``. If merge, ID of second new parent is
1027 1027 in ``$HG_PARENT2``. If the update succeeded, ``$HG_ERROR=0``. If the
1028 1028 update failed (e.g. because conflicts not resolved), ``$HG_ERROR=1``.
1029 1029
1030 1030 .. note::
1031 1031
1032 1032 It is generally better to use standard hooks rather than the
1033 1033 generic pre- and post- command hooks as they are guaranteed to be
1034 1034 called in the appropriate contexts for influencing transactions.
1035 1035 Also, hooks like "commit" will be called in all contexts that
1036 1036 generate a commit (e.g. tag) and not just the commit command.
1037 1037
1038 1038 .. note::
1039 1039
1040 1040 Environment variables with empty values may not be passed to
1041 1041 hooks on platforms such as Windows. As an example, ``$HG_PARENT2``
1042 1042 will have an empty value under Unix-like platforms for non-merge
1043 1043 changesets, while it will not be available at all under Windows.
1044 1044
1045 1045 The syntax for Python hooks is as follows::
1046 1046
1047 1047 hookname = python:modulename.submodule.callable
1048 1048 hookname = python:/path/to/python/module.py:callable
1049 1049
1050 1050 Python hooks are run within the Mercurial process. Each hook is
1051 1051 called with at least three keyword arguments: a ui object (keyword
1052 1052 ``ui``), a repository object (keyword ``repo``), and a ``hooktype``
1053 1053 keyword that tells what kind of hook is used. Arguments listed as
1054 1054 environment variables above are passed as keyword arguments, with no
1055 1055 ``HG_`` prefix, and names in lower case.
1056 1056
1057 1057 If a Python hook returns a "true" value or raises an exception, this
1058 1058 is treated as a failure.
1059 1059
1060 1060
1061 1061 ``hostfingerprints``
1062 1062 --------------------
1063 1063
1064 1064 (Deprecated. Use ``[hostsecurity]``'s ``fingerprints`` options instead.)
1065 1065
1066 1066 Fingerprints of the certificates of known HTTPS servers.
1067 1067
1068 1068 A HTTPS connection to a server with a fingerprint configured here will
1069 1069 only succeed if the servers certificate matches the fingerprint.
1070 1070 This is very similar to how ssh known hosts works.
1071 1071
1072 1072 The fingerprint is the SHA-1 hash value of the DER encoded certificate.
1073 1073 Multiple values can be specified (separated by spaces or commas). This can
1074 1074 be used to define both old and new fingerprints while a host transitions
1075 1075 to a new certificate.
1076 1076
1077 1077 The CA chain and web.cacerts is not used for servers with a fingerprint.
1078 1078
1079 1079 For example::
1080 1080
1081 1081 [hostfingerprints]
1082 1082 hg.intevation.de = fc:e2:8d:d9:51:cd:cb:c1:4d:18:6b:b7:44:8d:49:72:57:e6:cd:33
1083 1083 hg.intevation.org = fc:e2:8d:d9:51:cd:cb:c1:4d:18:6b:b7:44:8d:49:72:57:e6:cd:33
1084 1084
1085 1085 ``hostsecurity``
1086 1086 ----------------
1087 1087
1088 1088 Used to specify global and per-host security settings for connecting to
1089 1089 other machines.
1090 1090
1091 1091 The following options control default behavior for all hosts.
1092 1092
1093 1093 ``ciphers``
1094 1094 Defines the cryptographic ciphers to use for connections.
1095 1095
1096 1096 Value must be a valid OpenSSL Cipher List Format as documented at
1097 1097 https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER-LIST-FORMAT.
1098 1098
1099 1099 This setting is for advanced users only. Setting to incorrect values
1100 1100 can significantly lower connection security or decrease performance.
1101 1101 You have been warned.
1102 1102
1103 1103 This option requires Python 2.7.
1104 1104
1105 1105 ``minimumprotocol``
1106 1106 Defines the minimum channel encryption protocol to use.
1107 1107
1108 1108 By default, the highest version of TLS supported by both client and server
1109 1109 is used.
1110 1110
1111 1111 Allowed values are: ``tls1.0``, ``tls1.1``, ``tls1.2``.
1112 1112
1113 1113 When running on an old Python version, only ``tls1.0`` is allowed since
1114 1114 old versions of Python only support up to TLS 1.0.
1115 1115
1116 1116 When running a Python that supports modern TLS versions, the default is
1117 1117 ``tls1.1``. ``tls1.0`` can still be used to allow TLS 1.0. However, this
1118 1118 weakens security and should only be used as a feature of last resort if
1119 1119 a server does not support TLS 1.1+.
1120 1120
1121 1121 Options in the ``[hostsecurity]`` section can have the form
1122 1122 ``hostname``:``setting``. This allows multiple settings to be defined on a
1123 1123 per-host basis.
1124 1124
1125 1125 The following per-host settings can be defined.
1126 1126
1127 1127 ``ciphers``
1128 1128 This behaves like ``ciphers`` as described above except it only applies
1129 1129 to the host on which it is defined.
1130 1130
1131 1131 ``fingerprints``
1132 1132 A list of hashes of the DER encoded peer/remote certificate. Values have
1133 1133 the form ``algorithm``:``fingerprint``. e.g.
1134 1134 ``sha256:c3ab8ff13720e8ad9047dd39466b3c8974e592c2fa383d4a3960714caef0c4f2``.
1135 1135
1136 1136 The following algorithms/prefixes are supported: ``sha1``, ``sha256``,
1137 1137 ``sha512``.
1138 1138
1139 1139 Use of ``sha256`` or ``sha512`` is preferred.
1140 1140
1141 1141 If a fingerprint is specified, the CA chain is not validated for this
1142 1142 host and Mercurial will require the remote certificate to match one
1143 1143 of the fingerprints specified. This means if the server updates its
1144 1144 certificate, Mercurial will abort until a new fingerprint is defined.
1145 1145 This can provide stronger security than traditional CA-based validation
1146 1146 at the expense of convenience.
1147 1147
1148 1148 This option takes precedence over ``verifycertsfile``.
1149 1149
1150 1150 ``minimumprotocol``
1151 1151 This behaves like ``minimumprotocol`` as described above except it
1152 1152 only applies to the host on which it is defined.
1153 1153
1154 1154 ``verifycertsfile``
1155 1155 Path to file a containing a list of PEM encoded certificates used to
1156 1156 verify the server certificate. Environment variables and ``~user``
1157 1157 constructs are expanded in the filename.
1158 1158
1159 1159 The server certificate or the certificate's certificate authority (CA)
1160 1160 must match a certificate from this file or certificate verification
1161 1161 will fail and connections to the server will be refused.
1162 1162
1163 1163 If defined, only certificates provided by this file will be used:
1164 1164 ``web.cacerts`` and any system/default certificates will not be
1165 1165 used.
1166 1166
1167 1167 This option has no effect if the per-host ``fingerprints`` option
1168 1168 is set.
1169 1169
1170 1170 The format of the file is as follows::
1171 1171
1172 1172 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
1173 1173 ... (certificate in base64 PEM encoding) ...
1174 1174 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
1175 1175 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
1176 1176 ... (certificate in base64 PEM encoding) ...
1177 1177 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
1178 1178
1179 1179 For example::
1180 1180
1181 1181 [hostsecurity]
1182 1182 hg.example.com:fingerprints = sha256:c3ab8ff13720e8ad9047dd39466b3c8974e592c2fa383d4a3960714caef0c4f2
1183 1183 hg2.example.com:fingerprints = sha1:914f1aff87249c09b6859b88b1906d30756491ca, sha1:fc:e2:8d:d9:51:cd:cb:c1:4d:18:6b:b7:44:8d:49:72:57:e6:cd:33
1184 1184 foo.example.com:verifycertsfile = /etc/ssl/trusted-ca-certs.pem
1185 1185
1186 1186 To change the default minimum protocol version to TLS 1.2 but to allow TLS 1.1
1187 1187 when connecting to ``hg.example.com``::
1188 1188
1189 1189 [hostsecurity]
1190 1190 minimumprotocol = tls1.2
1191 1191 hg.example.com:minimumprotocol = tls1.1
1192 1192
1193 1193 ``http_proxy``
1194 1194 --------------
1195 1195
1196 1196 Used to access web-based Mercurial repositories through a HTTP
1197 1197 proxy.
1198 1198
1199 1199 ``host``
1200 1200 Host name and (optional) port of the proxy server, for example
1201 1201 "myproxy:8000".
1202 1202
1203 1203 ``no``
1204 1204 Optional. Comma-separated list of host names that should bypass
1205 1205 the proxy.
1206 1206
1207 1207 ``passwd``
1208 1208 Optional. Password to authenticate with at the proxy server.
1209 1209
1210 1210 ``user``
1211 1211 Optional. User name to authenticate with at the proxy server.
1212 1212
1213 1213 ``always``
1214 1214 Optional. Always use the proxy, even for localhost and any entries
1215 1215 in ``http_proxy.no``. (default: False)
1216 1216
1217 1217 ``merge``
1218 1218 ---------
1219 1219
1220 1220 This section specifies behavior during merges and updates.
1221 1221
1222 1222 ``checkignored``
1223 1223 Controls behavior when an ignored file on disk has the same name as a tracked
1224 1224 file in the changeset being merged or updated to, and has different
1225 1225 contents. Options are ``abort``, ``warn`` and ``ignore``. With ``abort``,
1226 1226 abort on such files. With ``warn``, warn on such files and back them up as
1227 1227 ``.orig``. With ``ignore``, don't print a warning and back them up as
1228 1228 ``.orig``. (default: ``abort``)
1229 1229
1230 1230 ``checkunknown``
1231 1231 Controls behavior when an unknown file that isn't ignored has the same name
1232 1232 as a tracked file in the changeset being merged or updated to, and has
1233 1233 different contents. Similar to ``merge.checkignored``, except for files that
1234 1234 are not ignored. (default: ``abort``)
1235 1235
1236 1236 ``merge-patterns``
1237 1237 ------------------
1238 1238
1239 1239 This section specifies merge tools to associate with particular file
1240 1240 patterns. Tools matched here will take precedence over the default
1241 1241 merge tool. Patterns are globs by default, rooted at the repository
1242 1242 root.
1243 1243
1244 1244 Example::
1245 1245
1246 1246 [merge-patterns]
1247 1247 **.c = kdiff3
1248 1248 **.jpg = myimgmerge
1249 1249
1250 1250 ``merge-tools``
1251 1251 ---------------
1252 1252
1253 1253 This section configures external merge tools to use for file-level
1254 1254 merges. This section has likely been preconfigured at install time.
1255 1255 Use :hg:`config merge-tools` to check the existing configuration.
1256 1256 Also see :hg:`help merge-tools` for more details.
1257 1257
1258 1258 Example ``~/.hgrc``::
1259 1259
1260 1260 [merge-tools]
1261 1261 # Override stock tool location
1262 1262 kdiff3.executable = ~/bin/kdiff3
1263 1263 # Specify command line
1264 1264 kdiff3.args = $base $local $other -o $output
1265 1265 # Give higher priority
1266 1266 kdiff3.priority = 1
1267 1267
1268 1268 # Changing the priority of preconfigured tool
1269 1269 meld.priority = 0
1270 1270
1271 1271 # Disable a preconfigured tool
1272 1272 vimdiff.disabled = yes
1273 1273
1274 1274 # Define new tool
1275 1275 myHtmlTool.args = -m $local $other $base $output
1276 1276 myHtmlTool.regkey = Software\FooSoftware\HtmlMerge
1277 1277 myHtmlTool.priority = 1
1278 1278
1279 1279 Supported arguments:
1280 1280
1281 1281 ``priority``
1282 1282 The priority in which to evaluate this tool.
1283 1283 (default: 0)
1284 1284
1285 1285 ``executable``
1286 1286 Either just the name of the executable or its pathname.
1287 1287
1288 1288 .. container:: windows
1289 1289
1290 1290 On Windows, the path can use environment variables with ${ProgramFiles}
1291 1291 syntax.
1292 1292
1293 1293 (default: the tool name)
1294 1294
1295 1295 ``args``
1296 1296 The arguments to pass to the tool executable. You can refer to the
1297 1297 files being merged as well as the output file through these
1298 1298 variables: ``$base``, ``$local``, ``$other``, ``$output``. The meaning
1299 1299 of ``$local`` and ``$other`` can vary depending on which action is being
1300 1300 performed. During and update or merge, ``$local`` represents the original
1301 1301 state of the file, while ``$other`` represents the commit you are updating
1302 1302 to or the commit you are merging with. During a rebase ``$local``
1303 1303 represents the destination of the rebase, and ``$other`` represents the
1304 1304 commit being rebased.
1305 1305 (default: ``$local $base $other``)
1306 1306
1307 1307 ``premerge``
1308 1308 Attempt to run internal non-interactive 3-way merge tool before
1309 1309 launching external tool. Options are ``true``, ``false``, ``keep`` or
1310 1310 ``keep-merge3``. The ``keep`` option will leave markers in the file if the
1311 1311 premerge fails. The ``keep-merge3`` will do the same but include information
1312 1312 about the base of the merge in the marker (see internal :merge3 in
1313 1313 :hg:`help merge-tools`).
1314 1314 (default: True)
1315 1315
1316 1316 ``binary``
1317 1317 This tool can merge binary files. (default: False, unless tool
1318 1318 was selected by file pattern match)
1319 1319
1320 1320 ``symlink``
1321 1321 This tool can merge symlinks. (default: False)
1322 1322
1323 1323 ``check``
1324 1324 A list of merge success-checking options:
1325 1325
1326 1326 ``changed``
1327 1327 Ask whether merge was successful when the merged file shows no changes.
1328 1328 ``conflicts``
1329 1329 Check whether there are conflicts even though the tool reported success.
1330 1330 ``prompt``
1331 1331 Always prompt for merge success, regardless of success reported by tool.
1332 1332
1333 1333 ``fixeol``
1334 1334 Attempt to fix up EOL changes caused by the merge tool.
1335 1335 (default: False)
1336 1336
1337 1337 ``gui``
1338 1338 This tool requires a graphical interface to run. (default: False)
1339 1339
1340 1340 .. container:: windows
1341 1341
1342 1342 ``regkey``
1343 1343 Windows registry key which describes install location of this
1344 1344 tool. Mercurial will search for this key first under
1345 1345 ``HKEY_CURRENT_USER`` and then under ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE``.
1346 1346 (default: None)
1347 1347
1348 1348 ``regkeyalt``
1349 1349 An alternate Windows registry key to try if the first key is not
1350 1350 found. The alternate key uses the same ``regname`` and ``regappend``
1351 1351 semantics of the primary key. The most common use for this key
1352 1352 is to search for 32bit applications on 64bit operating systems.
1353 1353 (default: None)
1354 1354
1355 1355 ``regname``
1356 1356 Name of value to read from specified registry key.
1357 1357 (default: the unnamed (default) value)
1358 1358
1359 1359 ``regappend``
1360 1360 String to append to the value read from the registry, typically
1361 1361 the executable name of the tool.
1362 1362 (default: None)
1363 1363
1364 1364
1365 1365 ``patch``
1366 1366 ---------
1367 1367
1368 1368 Settings used when applying patches, for instance through the 'import'
1369 1369 command or with Mercurial Queues extension.
1370 1370
1371 1371 ``eol``
1372 1372 When set to 'strict' patch content and patched files end of lines
1373 1373 are preserved. When set to ``lf`` or ``crlf``, both files end of
1374 1374 lines are ignored when patching and the result line endings are
1375 1375 normalized to either LF (Unix) or CRLF (Windows). When set to
1376 1376 ``auto``, end of lines are again ignored while patching but line
1377 1377 endings in patched files are normalized to their original setting
1378 1378 on a per-file basis. If target file does not exist or has no end
1379 1379 of line, patch line endings are preserved.
1380 1380 (default: strict)
1381 1381
1382 1382 ``fuzz``
1383 1383 The number of lines of 'fuzz' to allow when applying patches. This
1384 1384 controls how much context the patcher is allowed to ignore when
1385 1385 trying to apply a patch.
1386 1386 (default: 2)
1387 1387
1388 1388 ``paths``
1389 1389 ---------
1390 1390
1391 1391 Assigns symbolic names and behavior to repositories.
1392 1392
1393 1393 Options are symbolic names defining the URL or directory that is the
1394 1394 location of the repository. Example::
1395 1395
1396 1396 [paths]
1397 1397 my_server = https://example.com/my_repo
1398 1398 local_path = /home/me/repo
1399 1399
1400 1400 These symbolic names can be used from the command line. To pull
1401 1401 from ``my_server``: :hg:`pull my_server`. To push to ``local_path``:
1402 1402 :hg:`push local_path`.
1403 1403
1404 1404 Options containing colons (``:``) denote sub-options that can influence
1405 1405 behavior for that specific path. Example::
1406 1406
1407 1407 [paths]
1408 1408 my_server = https://example.com/my_path
1409 1409 my_server:pushurl = ssh://example.com/my_path
1410 1410
1411 1411 The following sub-options can be defined:
1412 1412
1413 1413 ``pushurl``
1414 1414 The URL to use for push operations. If not defined, the location
1415 1415 defined by the path's main entry is used.
1416 1416
1417 1417 ``pushrev``
1418 1418 A revset defining which revisions to push by default.
1419 1419
1420 1420 When :hg:`push` is executed without a ``-r`` argument, the revset
1421 1421 defined by this sub-option is evaluated to determine what to push.
1422 1422
1423 1423 For example, a value of ``.`` will push the working directory's
1424 1424 revision by default.
1425 1425
1426 1426 Revsets specifying bookmarks will not result in the bookmark being
1427 1427 pushed.
1428 1428
1429 1429 The following special named paths exist:
1430 1430
1431 1431 ``default``
1432 1432 The URL or directory to use when no source or remote is specified.
1433 1433
1434 1434 :hg:`clone` will automatically define this path to the location the
1435 1435 repository was cloned from.
1436 1436
1437 1437 ``default-push``
1438 1438 (deprecated) The URL or directory for the default :hg:`push` location.
1439 1439 ``default:pushurl`` should be used instead.
1440 1440
1441 1441 ``phases``
1442 1442 ----------
1443 1443
1444 1444 Specifies default handling of phases. See :hg:`help phases` for more
1445 1445 information about working with phases.
1446 1446
1447 1447 ``publish``
1448 1448 Controls draft phase behavior when working as a server. When true,
1449 1449 pushed changesets are set to public in both client and server and
1450 1450 pulled or cloned changesets are set to public in the client.
1451 1451 (default: True)
1452 1452
1453 1453 ``new-commit``
1454 1454 Phase of newly-created commits.
1455 1455 (default: draft)
1456 1456
1457 1457 ``checksubrepos``
1458 1458 Check the phase of the current revision of each subrepository. Allowed
1459 1459 values are "ignore", "follow" and "abort". For settings other than
1460 1460 "ignore", the phase of the current revision of each subrepository is
1461 1461 checked before committing the parent repository. If any of those phases is
1462 1462 greater than the phase of the parent repository (e.g. if a subrepo is in a
1463 1463 "secret" phase while the parent repo is in "draft" phase), the commit is
1464 1464 either aborted (if checksubrepos is set to "abort") or the higher phase is
1465 1465 used for the parent repository commit (if set to "follow").
1466 1466 (default: follow)
1467 1467
1468 1468
1469 1469 ``profiling``
1470 1470 -------------
1471 1471
1472 1472 Specifies profiling type, format, and file output. Two profilers are
1473 1473 supported: an instrumenting profiler (named ``ls``), and a sampling
1474 1474 profiler (named ``stat``).
1475 1475
1476 1476 In this section description, 'profiling data' stands for the raw data
1477 1477 collected during profiling, while 'profiling report' stands for a
1478 1478 statistical text report generated from the profiling data. The
1479 1479 profiling is done using lsprof.
1480 1480
1481 1481 ``enabled``
1482 1482 Enable the profiler.
1483 1483 (default: false)
1484 1484
1485 1485 This is equivalent to passing ``--profile`` on the command line.
1486 1486
1487 1487 ``type``
1488 1488 The type of profiler to use.
1489 1489 (default: stat)
1490 1490
1491 1491 ``ls``
1492 1492 Use Python's built-in instrumenting profiler. This profiler
1493 1493 works on all platforms, but each line number it reports is the
1494 1494 first line of a function. This restriction makes it difficult to
1495 1495 identify the expensive parts of a non-trivial function.
1496 1496 ``stat``
1497 1497 Use a statistical profiler, statprof. This profiler is most
1498 1498 useful for profiling commands that run for longer than about 0.1
1499 1499 seconds.
1500 1500
1501 1501 ``format``
1502 1502 Profiling format. Specific to the ``ls`` instrumenting profiler.
1503 1503 (default: text)
1504 1504
1505 1505 ``text``
1506 1506 Generate a profiling report. When saving to a file, it should be
1507 1507 noted that only the report is saved, and the profiling data is
1508 1508 not kept.
1509 1509 ``kcachegrind``
1510 1510 Format profiling data for kcachegrind use: when saving to a
1511 1511 file, the generated file can directly be loaded into
1512 1512 kcachegrind.
1513 1513
1514 1514 ``statformat``
1515 1515 Profiling format for the ``stat`` profiler.
1516 1516 (default: hotpath)
1517 1517
1518 1518 ``hotpath``
1519 1519 Show a tree-based display containing the hot path of execution (where
1520 1520 most time was spent).
1521 1521 ``bymethod``
1522 1522 Show a table of methods ordered by how frequently they are active.
1523 1523 ``byline``
1524 1524 Show a table of lines in files ordered by how frequently they are active.
1525 1525 ``json``
1526 1526 Render profiling data as JSON.
1527 1527
1528 1528 ``frequency``
1529 1529 Sampling frequency. Specific to the ``stat`` sampling profiler.
1530 1530 (default: 1000)
1531 1531
1532 1532 ``output``
1533 1533 File path where profiling data or report should be saved. If the
1534 1534 file exists, it is replaced. (default: None, data is printed on
1535 1535 stderr)
1536 1536
1537 1537 ``sort``
1538 1538 Sort field. Specific to the ``ls`` instrumenting profiler.
1539 1539 One of ``callcount``, ``reccallcount``, ``totaltime`` and
1540 1540 ``inlinetime``.
1541 1541 (default: inlinetime)
1542 1542
1543 1543 ``limit``
1544 1544 Number of lines to show. Specific to the ``ls`` instrumenting profiler.
1545 1545 (default: 30)
1546 1546
1547 1547 ``nested``
1548 1548 Show at most this number of lines of drill-down info after each main entry.
1549 1549 This can help explain the difference between Total and Inline.
1550 1550 Specific to the ``ls`` instrumenting profiler.
1551 1551 (default: 5)
1552 1552
1553 1553 ``progress``
1554 1554 ------------
1555 1555
1556 1556 Mercurial commands can draw progress bars that are as informative as
1557 1557 possible. Some progress bars only offer indeterminate information, while others
1558 1558 have a definite end point.
1559 1559
1560 1560 ``delay``
1561 1561 Number of seconds (float) before showing the progress bar. (default: 3)
1562 1562
1563 1563 ``changedelay``
1564 1564 Minimum delay before showing a new topic. When set to less than 3 * refresh,
1565 1565 that value will be used instead. (default: 1)
1566 1566
1567 1567 ``refresh``
1568 1568 Time in seconds between refreshes of the progress bar. (default: 0.1)
1569 1569
1570 1570 ``format``
1571 1571 Format of the progress bar.
1572 1572
1573 1573 Valid entries for the format field are ``topic``, ``bar``, ``number``,
1574 1574 ``unit``, ``estimate``, ``speed``, and ``item``. ``item`` defaults to the
1575 1575 last 20 characters of the item, but this can be changed by adding either
1576 1576 ``-<num>`` which would take the last num characters, or ``+<num>`` for the
1577 1577 first num characters.
1578 1578
1579 1579 (default: topic bar number estimate)
1580 1580
1581 1581 ``width``
1582 1582 If set, the maximum width of the progress information (that is, min(width,
1583 1583 term width) will be used).
1584 1584
1585 1585 ``clear-complete``
1586 1586 Clear the progress bar after it's done. (default: True)
1587 1587
1588 1588 ``disable``
1589 1589 If true, don't show a progress bar.
1590 1590
1591 1591 ``assume-tty``
1592 1592 If true, ALWAYS show a progress bar, unless disable is given.
1593 1593
1594 1594 ``rebase``
1595 1595 ----------
1596 1596
1597 1597 ``allowdivergence``
1598 1598 Default to False, when True allow creating divergence when performing
1599 1599 rebase of obsolete changesets.
1600 1600
1601 1601 ``revsetalias``
1602 1602 ---------------
1603 1603
1604 1604 Alias definitions for revsets. See :hg:`help revsets` for details.
1605 1605
1606 1606 ``server``
1607 1607 ----------
1608 1608
1609 1609 Controls generic server settings.
1610 1610
1611 1611 ``compressionengines``
1612 1612 List of compression engines and their relative priority to advertise
1613 1613 to clients.
1614 1614
1615 1615 The order of compression engines determines their priority, the first
1616 1616 having the highest priority. If a compression engine is not listed
1617 1617 here, it won't be advertised to clients.
1618 1618
1619 1619 If not set (the default), built-in defaults are used. Run
1620 1620 :hg:`debuginstall` to list available compression engines and their
1621 1621 default wire protocol priority.
1622 1622
1623 1623 Older Mercurial clients only support zlib compression and this setting
1624 1624 has no effect for legacy clients.
1625 1625
1626 1626 ``uncompressed``
1627 1627 Whether to allow clients to clone a repository using the
1628 1628 uncompressed streaming protocol. This transfers about 40% more
1629 1629 data than a regular clone, but uses less memory and CPU on both
1630 1630 server and client. Over a LAN (100 Mbps or better) or a very fast
1631 1631 WAN, an uncompressed streaming clone is a lot faster (~10x) than a
1632 1632 regular clone. Over most WAN connections (anything slower than
1633 1633 about 6 Mbps), uncompressed streaming is slower, because of the
1634 1634 extra data transfer overhead. This mode will also temporarily hold
1635 1635 the write lock while determining what data to transfer.
1636 1636 (default: True)
1637 1637
1638 1638 ``preferuncompressed``
1639 1639 When set, clients will try to use the uncompressed streaming
1640 1640 protocol. (default: False)
1641 1641
1642 1642 ``validate``
1643 1643 Whether to validate the completeness of pushed changesets by
1644 1644 checking that all new file revisions specified in manifests are
1645 1645 present. (default: False)
1646 1646
1647 1647 ``maxhttpheaderlen``
1648 1648 Instruct HTTP clients not to send request headers longer than this
1649 1649 many bytes. (default: 1024)
1650 1650
1651 1651 ``bundle1``
1652 1652 Whether to allow clients to push and pull using the legacy bundle1
1653 1653 exchange format. (default: True)
1654 1654
1655 1655 ``bundle1gd``
1656 1656 Like ``bundle1`` but only used if the repository is using the
1657 1657 *generaldelta* storage format. (default: True)
1658 1658
1659 1659 ``bundle1.push``
1660 1660 Whether to allow clients to push using the legacy bundle1 exchange
1661 1661 format. (default: True)
1662 1662
1663 1663 ``bundle1gd.push``
1664 1664 Like ``bundle1.push`` but only used if the repository is using the
1665 1665 *generaldelta* storage format. (default: True)
1666 1666
1667 1667 ``bundle1.pull``
1668 1668 Whether to allow clients to pull using the legacy bundle1 exchange
1669 1669 format. (default: True)
1670 1670
1671 1671 ``bundle1gd.pull``
1672 1672 Like ``bundle1.pull`` but only used if the repository is using the
1673 1673 *generaldelta* storage format. (default: True)
1674 1674
1675 1675 Large repositories using the *generaldelta* storage format should
1676 1676 consider setting this option because converting *generaldelta*
1677 1677 repositories to the exchange format required by the bundle1 data
1678 1678 format can consume a lot of CPU.
1679 1679
1680 1680 ``zliblevel``
1681 1681 Integer between ``-1`` and ``9`` that controls the zlib compression level
1682 1682 for wire protocol commands that send zlib compressed output (notably the
1683 1683 commands that send repository history data).
1684 1684
1685 1685 The default (``-1``) uses the default zlib compression level, which is
1686 1686 likely equivalent to ``6``. ``0`` means no compression. ``9`` means
1687 1687 maximum compression.
1688 1688
1689 1689 Setting this option allows server operators to make trade-offs between
1690 1690 bandwidth and CPU used. Lowering the compression lowers CPU utilization
1691 1691 but sends more bytes to clients.
1692 1692
1693 1693 This option only impacts the HTTP server.
1694 1694
1695 1695 ``zstdlevel``
1696 1696 Integer between ``1`` and ``22`` that controls the zstd compression level
1697 1697 for wire protocol commands. ``1`` is the minimal amount of compression and
1698 1698 ``22`` is the highest amount of compression.
1699 1699
1700 1700 The default (``3``) should be significantly faster than zlib while likely
1701 1701 delivering better compression ratios.
1702 1702
1703 1703 This option only impacts the HTTP server.
1704 1704
1705 1705 See also ``server.zliblevel``.
1706 1706
1707 1707 ``smtp``
1708 1708 --------
1709 1709
1710 1710 Configuration for extensions that need to send email messages.
1711 1711
1712 1712 ``host``
1713 1713 Host name of mail server, e.g. "mail.example.com".
1714 1714
1715 1715 ``port``
1716 1716 Optional. Port to connect to on mail server. (default: 465 if
1717 1717 ``tls`` is smtps; 25 otherwise)
1718 1718
1719 1719 ``tls``
1720 1720 Optional. Method to enable TLS when connecting to mail server: starttls,
1721 1721 smtps or none. (default: none)
1722 1722
1723 1723 ``username``
1724 1724 Optional. User name for authenticating with the SMTP server.
1725 1725 (default: None)
1726 1726
1727 1727 ``password``
1728 1728 Optional. Password for authenticating with the SMTP server. If not
1729 1729 specified, interactive sessions will prompt the user for a
1730 1730 password; non-interactive sessions will fail. (default: None)
1731 1731
1732 1732 ``local_hostname``
1733 1733 Optional. The hostname that the sender can use to identify
1734 1734 itself to the MTA.
1735 1735
1736 1736
1737 1737 ``subpaths``
1738 1738 ------------
1739 1739
1740 1740 Subrepository source URLs can go stale if a remote server changes name
1741 1741 or becomes temporarily unavailable. This section lets you define
1742 1742 rewrite rules of the form::
1743 1743
1744 1744 <pattern> = <replacement>
1745 1745
1746 1746 where ``pattern`` is a regular expression matching a subrepository
1747 1747 source URL and ``replacement`` is the replacement string used to
1748 1748 rewrite it. Groups can be matched in ``pattern`` and referenced in
1749 1749 ``replacements``. For instance::
1750 1750
1751 1751 http://server/(.*)-hg/ = http://hg.server/\1/
1752 1752
1753 1753 rewrites ``http://server/foo-hg/`` into ``http://hg.server/foo/``.
1754 1754
1755 1755 Relative subrepository paths are first made absolute, and the
1756 1756 rewrite rules are then applied on the full (absolute) path. If ``pattern``
1757 1757 doesn't match the full path, an attempt is made to apply it on the
1758 1758 relative path alone. The rules are applied in definition order.
1759 1759
1760 1760 ``templatealias``
1761 1761 -----------------
1762 1762
1763 1763 Alias definitions for templates. See :hg:`help templates` for details.
1764 1764
1765 1765 ``templates``
1766 1766 -------------
1767 1767
1768 1768 Use the ``[templates]`` section to define template strings.
1769 1769 See :hg:`help templates` for details.
1770 1770
1771 1771 ``trusted``
1772 1772 -----------
1773 1773
1774 1774 Mercurial will not use the settings in the
1775 1775 ``.hg/hgrc`` file from a repository if it doesn't belong to a trusted
1776 1776 user or to a trusted group, as various hgrc features allow arbitrary
1777 1777 commands to be run. This issue is often encountered when configuring
1778 1778 hooks or extensions for shared repositories or servers. However,
1779 1779 the web interface will use some safe settings from the ``[web]``
1780 1780 section.
1781 1781
1782 1782 This section specifies what users and groups are trusted. The
1783 1783 current user is always trusted. To trust everybody, list a user or a
1784 1784 group with name ``*``. These settings must be placed in an
1785 1785 *already-trusted file* to take effect, such as ``$HOME/.hgrc`` of the
1786 1786 user or service running Mercurial.
1787 1787
1788 1788 ``users``
1789 1789 Comma-separated list of trusted users.
1790 1790
1791 1791 ``groups``
1792 1792 Comma-separated list of trusted groups.
1793 1793
1794 1794
1795 1795 ``ui``
1796 1796 ------
1797 1797
1798 1798 User interface controls.
1799 1799
1800 1800 ``archivemeta``
1801 1801 Whether to include the .hg_archival.txt file containing meta data
1802 1802 (hashes for the repository base and for tip) in archives created
1803 1803 by the :hg:`archive` command or downloaded via hgweb.
1804 1804 (default: True)
1805 1805
1806 1806 ``askusername``
1807 1807 Whether to prompt for a username when committing. If True, and
1808 1808 neither ``$HGUSER`` nor ``$EMAIL`` has been specified, then the user will
1809 1809 be prompted to enter a username. If no username is entered, the
1810 1810 default ``USER@HOST`` is used instead.
1811 1811 (default: False)
1812 1812
1813 1813 ``clonebundles``
1814 1814 Whether the "clone bundles" feature is enabled.
1815 1815
1816 1816 When enabled, :hg:`clone` may download and apply a server-advertised
1817 1817 bundle file from a URL instead of using the normal exchange mechanism.
1818 1818
1819 1819 This can likely result in faster and more reliable clones.
1820 1820
1821 1821 (default: True)
1822 1822
1823 1823 ``clonebundlefallback``
1824 1824 Whether failure to apply an advertised "clone bundle" from a server
1825 1825 should result in fallback to a regular clone.
1826 1826
1827 1827 This is disabled by default because servers advertising "clone
1828 1828 bundles" often do so to reduce server load. If advertised bundles
1829 1829 start mass failing and clients automatically fall back to a regular
1830 1830 clone, this would add significant and unexpected load to the server
1831 1831 since the server is expecting clone operations to be offloaded to
1832 1832 pre-generated bundles. Failing fast (the default behavior) ensures
1833 1833 clients don't overwhelm the server when "clone bundle" application
1834 1834 fails.
1835 1835
1836 1836 (default: False)
1837 1837
1838 1838 ``clonebundleprefers``
1839 1839 Defines preferences for which "clone bundles" to use.
1840 1840
1841 1841 Servers advertising "clone bundles" may advertise multiple available
1842 1842 bundles. Each bundle may have different attributes, such as the bundle
1843 1843 type and compression format. This option is used to prefer a particular
1844 1844 bundle over another.
1845 1845
1846 1846 The following keys are defined by Mercurial:
1847 1847
1848 1848 BUNDLESPEC
1849 1849 A bundle type specifier. These are strings passed to :hg:`bundle -t`.
1850 1850 e.g. ``gzip-v2`` or ``bzip2-v1``.
1851 1851
1852 1852 COMPRESSION
1853 1853 The compression format of the bundle. e.g. ``gzip`` and ``bzip2``.
1854 1854
1855 1855 Server operators may define custom keys.
1856 1856
1857 1857 Example values: ``COMPRESSION=bzip2``,
1858 1858 ``BUNDLESPEC=gzip-v2, COMPRESSION=gzip``.
1859 1859
1860 1860 By default, the first bundle advertised by the server is used.
1861 1861
1862 1862 ``color``
1863 String: when to use to colorize output. possible value are auto, always,
1864 never, or debug (default: auto). 'auto' will use color whenever it seems
1865 possible. See :hg:`help color` for details.
1866
1867 (in addition a boolean can be used in place always/never)
1863 When to colorize output. Possible value are Boolean, "always", "auto",
1864 "never", or "debug". (default: "auto"). "auto" will use color
1865 whenever it seems possible. See :hg:`help color` for details.
1868 1866
1869 1867 ``commitsubrepos``
1870 1868 Whether to commit modified subrepositories when committing the
1871 1869 parent repository. If False and one subrepository has uncommitted
1872 1870 changes, abort the commit.
1873 1871 (default: False)
1874 1872
1875 1873 ``debug``
1876 1874 Print debugging information. (default: False)
1877 1875
1878 1876 ``editor``
1879 1877 The editor to use during a commit. (default: ``$EDITOR`` or ``vi``)
1880 1878
1881 1879 ``fallbackencoding``
1882 1880 Encoding to try if it's not possible to decode the changelog using
1883 1881 UTF-8. (default: ISO-8859-1)
1884 1882
1885 1883 ``graphnodetemplate``
1886 1884 The template used to print changeset nodes in an ASCII revision graph.
1887 1885 (default: ``{graphnode}``)
1888 1886
1889 1887 ``ignore``
1890 1888 A file to read per-user ignore patterns from. This file should be
1891 1889 in the same format as a repository-wide .hgignore file. Filenames
1892 1890 are relative to the repository root. This option supports hook syntax,
1893 1891 so if you want to specify multiple ignore files, you can do so by
1894 1892 setting something like ``ignore.other = ~/.hgignore2``. For details
1895 1893 of the ignore file format, see the ``hgignore(5)`` man page.
1896 1894
1897 1895 ``interactive``
1898 1896 Allow to prompt the user. (default: True)
1899 1897
1900 1898 ``interface``
1901 1899 Select the default interface for interactive features (default: text).
1902 1900 Possible values are 'text' and 'curses'.
1903 1901
1904 1902 ``interface.chunkselector``
1905 1903 Select the interface for change recording (e.g. :hg:`commit -i`).
1906 1904 Possible values are 'text' and 'curses'.
1907 1905 This config overrides the interface specified by ui.interface.
1908 1906
1909 1907 ``logtemplate``
1910 1908 Template string for commands that print changesets.
1911 1909
1912 1910 ``merge``
1913 1911 The conflict resolution program to use during a manual merge.
1914 1912 For more information on merge tools see :hg:`help merge-tools`.
1915 1913 For configuring merge tools see the ``[merge-tools]`` section.
1916 1914
1917 1915 ``mergemarkers``
1918 1916 Sets the merge conflict marker label styling. The ``detailed``
1919 1917 style uses the ``mergemarkertemplate`` setting to style the labels.
1920 1918 The ``basic`` style just uses 'local' and 'other' as the marker label.
1921 1919 One of ``basic`` or ``detailed``.
1922 1920 (default: ``basic``)
1923 1921
1924 1922 ``mergemarkertemplate``
1925 1923 The template used to print the commit description next to each conflict
1926 1924 marker during merge conflicts. See :hg:`help templates` for the template
1927 1925 format.
1928 1926
1929 1927 Defaults to showing the hash, tags, branches, bookmarks, author, and
1930 1928 the first line of the commit description.
1931 1929
1932 1930 If you use non-ASCII characters in names for tags, branches, bookmarks,
1933 1931 authors, and/or commit descriptions, you must pay attention to encodings of
1934 1932 managed files. At template expansion, non-ASCII characters use the encoding
1935 1933 specified by the ``--encoding`` global option, ``HGENCODING`` or other
1936 1934 environment variables that govern your locale. If the encoding of the merge
1937 1935 markers is different from the encoding of the merged files,
1938 1936 serious problems may occur.
1939 1937
1940 1938 ``origbackuppath``
1941 1939 The path to a directory used to store generated .orig files. If the path is
1942 1940 not a directory, one will be created.
1943 1941
1944 1942 ``patch``
1945 1943 An optional external tool that ``hg import`` and some extensions
1946 1944 will use for applying patches. By default Mercurial uses an
1947 1945 internal patch utility. The external tool must work as the common
1948 1946 Unix ``patch`` program. In particular, it must accept a ``-p``
1949 1947 argument to strip patch headers, a ``-d`` argument to specify the
1950 1948 current directory, a file name to patch, and a patch file to take
1951 1949 from stdin.
1952 1950
1953 1951 It is possible to specify a patch tool together with extra
1954 1952 arguments. For example, setting this option to ``patch --merge``
1955 1953 will use the ``patch`` program with its 2-way merge option.
1956 1954
1957 1955 ``portablefilenames``
1958 1956 Check for portable filenames. Can be ``warn``, ``ignore`` or ``abort``.
1959 1957 (default: ``warn``)
1960 1958
1961 1959 ``warn``
1962 1960 Print a warning message on POSIX platforms, if a file with a non-portable
1963 1961 filename is added (e.g. a file with a name that can't be created on
1964 1962 Windows because it contains reserved parts like ``AUX``, reserved
1965 1963 characters like ``:``, or would cause a case collision with an existing
1966 1964 file).
1967 1965
1968 1966 ``ignore``
1969 1967 Don't print a warning.
1970 1968
1971 1969 ``abort``
1972 1970 The command is aborted.
1973 1971
1974 1972 ``true``
1975 1973 Alias for ``warn``.
1976 1974
1977 1975 ``false``
1978 1976 Alias for ``ignore``.
1979 1977
1980 1978 .. container:: windows
1981 1979
1982 1980 On Windows, this configuration option is ignored and the command aborted.
1983 1981
1984 1982 ``quiet``
1985 1983 Reduce the amount of output printed.
1986 1984 (default: False)
1987 1985
1988 1986 ``remotecmd``
1989 1987 Remote command to use for clone/push/pull operations.
1990 1988 (default: ``hg``)
1991 1989
1992 1990 ``report_untrusted``
1993 1991 Warn if a ``.hg/hgrc`` file is ignored due to not being owned by a
1994 1992 trusted user or group.
1995 1993 (default: True)
1996 1994
1997 1995 ``slash``
1998 1996 Display paths using a slash (``/``) as the path separator. This
1999 1997 only makes a difference on systems where the default path
2000 1998 separator is not the slash character (e.g. Windows uses the
2001 1999 backslash character (``\``)).
2002 2000 (default: False)
2003 2001
2004 2002 ``statuscopies``
2005 2003 Display copies in the status command.
2006 2004
2007 2005 ``ssh``
2008 2006 Command to use for SSH connections. (default: ``ssh``)
2009 2007
2010 2008 ``strict``
2011 2009 Require exact command names, instead of allowing unambiguous
2012 2010 abbreviations. (default: False)
2013 2011
2014 2012 ``style``
2015 2013 Name of style to use for command output.
2016 2014
2017 2015 ``supportcontact``
2018 2016 A URL where users should report a Mercurial traceback. Use this if you are a
2019 2017 large organisation with its own Mercurial deployment process and crash
2020 2018 reports should be addressed to your internal support.
2021 2019
2022 2020 ``textwidth``
2023 2021 Maximum width of help text. A longer line generated by ``hg help`` or
2024 2022 ``hg subcommand --help`` will be broken after white space to get this
2025 2023 width or the terminal width, whichever comes first.
2026 2024 A non-positive value will disable this and the terminal width will be
2027 2025 used. (default: 78)
2028 2026
2029 2027 ``timeout``
2030 2028 The timeout used when a lock is held (in seconds), a negative value
2031 2029 means no timeout. (default: 600)
2032 2030
2033 2031 ``traceback``
2034 2032 Mercurial always prints a traceback when an unknown exception
2035 2033 occurs. Setting this to True will make Mercurial print a traceback
2036 2034 on all exceptions, even those recognized by Mercurial (such as
2037 2035 IOError or MemoryError). (default: False)
2038 2036
2039 2037 ``username``
2040 2038 The committer of a changeset created when running "commit".
2041 2039 Typically a person's name and email address, e.g. ``Fred Widget
2042 2040 <fred@example.com>``. Environment variables in the
2043 2041 username are expanded.
2044 2042
2045 2043 (default: ``$EMAIL`` or ``username@hostname``. If the username in
2046 2044 hgrc is empty, e.g. if the system admin set ``username =`` in the
2047 2045 system hgrc, it has to be specified manually or in a different
2048 2046 hgrc file)
2049 2047
2050 2048 ``verbose``
2051 2049 Increase the amount of output printed. (default: False)
2052 2050
2053 2051
2054 2052 ``web``
2055 2053 -------
2056 2054
2057 2055 Web interface configuration. The settings in this section apply to
2058 2056 both the builtin webserver (started by :hg:`serve`) and the script you
2059 2057 run through a webserver (``hgweb.cgi`` and the derivatives for FastCGI
2060 2058 and WSGI).
2061 2059
2062 2060 The Mercurial webserver does no authentication (it does not prompt for
2063 2061 usernames and passwords to validate *who* users are), but it does do
2064 2062 authorization (it grants or denies access for *authenticated users*
2065 2063 based on settings in this section). You must either configure your
2066 2064 webserver to do authentication for you, or disable the authorization
2067 2065 checks.
2068 2066
2069 2067 For a quick setup in a trusted environment, e.g., a private LAN, where
2070 2068 you want it to accept pushes from anybody, you can use the following
2071 2069 command line::
2072 2070
2073 2071 $ hg --config web.allow_push=* --config web.push_ssl=False serve
2074 2072
2075 2073 Note that this will allow anybody to push anything to the server and
2076 2074 that this should not be used for public servers.
2077 2075
2078 2076 The full set of options is:
2079 2077
2080 2078 ``accesslog``
2081 2079 Where to output the access log. (default: stdout)
2082 2080
2083 2081 ``address``
2084 2082 Interface address to bind to. (default: all)
2085 2083
2086 2084 ``allow_archive``
2087 2085 List of archive format (bz2, gz, zip) allowed for downloading.
2088 2086 (default: empty)
2089 2087
2090 2088 ``allowbz2``
2091 2089 (DEPRECATED) Whether to allow .tar.bz2 downloading of repository
2092 2090 revisions.
2093 2091 (default: False)
2094 2092
2095 2093 ``allowgz``
2096 2094 (DEPRECATED) Whether to allow .tar.gz downloading of repository
2097 2095 revisions.
2098 2096 (default: False)
2099 2097
2100 2098 ``allowpull``
2101 2099 Whether to allow pulling from the repository. (default: True)
2102 2100
2103 2101 ``allow_push``
2104 2102 Whether to allow pushing to the repository. If empty or not set,
2105 2103 pushing is not allowed. If the special value ``*``, any remote
2106 2104 user can push, including unauthenticated users. Otherwise, the
2107 2105 remote user must have been authenticated, and the authenticated
2108 2106 user name must be present in this list. The contents of the
2109 2107 allow_push list are examined after the deny_push list.
2110 2108
2111 2109 ``allow_read``
2112 2110 If the user has not already been denied repository access due to
2113 2111 the contents of deny_read, this list determines whether to grant
2114 2112 repository access to the user. If this list is not empty, and the
2115 2113 user is unauthenticated or not present in the list, then access is
2116 2114 denied for the user. If the list is empty or not set, then access
2117 2115 is permitted to all users by default. Setting allow_read to the
2118 2116 special value ``*`` is equivalent to it not being set (i.e. access
2119 2117 is permitted to all users). The contents of the allow_read list are
2120 2118 examined after the deny_read list.
2121 2119
2122 2120 ``allowzip``
2123 2121 (DEPRECATED) Whether to allow .zip downloading of repository
2124 2122 revisions. This feature creates temporary files.
2125 2123 (default: False)
2126 2124
2127 2125 ``archivesubrepos``
2128 2126 Whether to recurse into subrepositories when archiving.
2129 2127 (default: False)
2130 2128
2131 2129 ``baseurl``
2132 2130 Base URL to use when publishing URLs in other locations, so
2133 2131 third-party tools like email notification hooks can construct
2134 2132 URLs. Example: ``http://hgserver/repos/``.
2135 2133
2136 2134 ``cacerts``
2137 2135 Path to file containing a list of PEM encoded certificate
2138 2136 authority certificates. Environment variables and ``~user``
2139 2137 constructs are expanded in the filename. If specified on the
2140 2138 client, then it will verify the identity of remote HTTPS servers
2141 2139 with these certificates.
2142 2140
2143 2141 To disable SSL verification temporarily, specify ``--insecure`` from
2144 2142 command line.
2145 2143
2146 2144 You can use OpenSSL's CA certificate file if your platform has
2147 2145 one. On most Linux systems this will be
2148 2146 ``/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt``. Otherwise you will have to
2149 2147 generate this file manually. The form must be as follows::
2150 2148
2151 2149 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2152 2150 ... (certificate in base64 PEM encoding) ...
2153 2151 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2154 2152 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2155 2153 ... (certificate in base64 PEM encoding) ...
2156 2154 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2157 2155
2158 2156 ``cache``
2159 2157 Whether to support caching in hgweb. (default: True)
2160 2158
2161 2159 ``certificate``
2162 2160 Certificate to use when running :hg:`serve`.
2163 2161
2164 2162 ``collapse``
2165 2163 With ``descend`` enabled, repositories in subdirectories are shown at
2166 2164 a single level alongside repositories in the current path. With
2167 2165 ``collapse`` also enabled, repositories residing at a deeper level than
2168 2166 the current path are grouped behind navigable directory entries that
2169 2167 lead to the locations of these repositories. In effect, this setting
2170 2168 collapses each collection of repositories found within a subdirectory
2171 2169 into a single entry for that subdirectory. (default: False)
2172 2170
2173 2171 ``comparisoncontext``
2174 2172 Number of lines of context to show in side-by-side file comparison. If
2175 2173 negative or the value ``full``, whole files are shown. (default: 5)
2176 2174
2177 2175 This setting can be overridden by a ``context`` request parameter to the
2178 2176 ``comparison`` command, taking the same values.
2179 2177
2180 2178 ``contact``
2181 2179 Name or email address of the person in charge of the repository.
2182 2180 (default: ui.username or ``$EMAIL`` or "unknown" if unset or empty)
2183 2181
2184 2182 ``csp``
2185 2183 Send a ``Content-Security-Policy`` HTTP header with this value.
2186 2184
2187 2185 The value may contain a special string ``%nonce%``, which will be replaced
2188 2186 by a randomly-generated one-time use value. If the value contains
2189 2187 ``%nonce%``, ``web.cache`` will be disabled, as caching undermines the
2190 2188 one-time property of the nonce. This nonce will also be inserted into
2191 2189 ``<script>`` elements containing inline JavaScript.
2192 2190
2193 2191 Note: lots of HTML content sent by the server is derived from repository
2194 2192 data. Please consider the potential for malicious repository data to
2195 2193 "inject" itself into generated HTML content as part of your security
2196 2194 threat model.
2197 2195
2198 2196 ``deny_push``
2199 2197 Whether to deny pushing to the repository. If empty or not set,
2200 2198 push is not denied. If the special value ``*``, all remote users are
2201 2199 denied push. Otherwise, unauthenticated users are all denied, and
2202 2200 any authenticated user name present in this list is also denied. The
2203 2201 contents of the deny_push list are examined before the allow_push list.
2204 2202
2205 2203 ``deny_read``
2206 2204 Whether to deny reading/viewing of the repository. If this list is
2207 2205 not empty, unauthenticated users are all denied, and any
2208 2206 authenticated user name present in this list is also denied access to
2209 2207 the repository. If set to the special value ``*``, all remote users
2210 2208 are denied access (rarely needed ;). If deny_read is empty or not set,
2211 2209 the determination of repository access depends on the presence and
2212 2210 content of the allow_read list (see description). If both
2213 2211 deny_read and allow_read are empty or not set, then access is
2214 2212 permitted to all users by default. If the repository is being
2215 2213 served via hgwebdir, denied users will not be able to see it in
2216 2214 the list of repositories. The contents of the deny_read list have
2217 2215 priority over (are examined before) the contents of the allow_read
2218 2216 list.
2219 2217
2220 2218 ``descend``
2221 2219 hgwebdir indexes will not descend into subdirectories. Only repositories
2222 2220 directly in the current path will be shown (other repositories are still
2223 2221 available from the index corresponding to their containing path).
2224 2222
2225 2223 ``description``
2226 2224 Textual description of the repository's purpose or contents.
2227 2225 (default: "unknown")
2228 2226
2229 2227 ``encoding``
2230 2228 Character encoding name. (default: the current locale charset)
2231 2229 Example: "UTF-8".
2232 2230
2233 2231 ``errorlog``
2234 2232 Where to output the error log. (default: stderr)
2235 2233
2236 2234 ``guessmime``
2237 2235 Control MIME types for raw download of file content.
2238 2236 Set to True to let hgweb guess the content type from the file
2239 2237 extension. This will serve HTML files as ``text/html`` and might
2240 2238 allow cross-site scripting attacks when serving untrusted
2241 2239 repositories. (default: False)
2242 2240
2243 2241 ``hidden``
2244 2242 Whether to hide the repository in the hgwebdir index.
2245 2243 (default: False)
2246 2244
2247 2245 ``ipv6``
2248 2246 Whether to use IPv6. (default: False)
2249 2247
2250 2248 ``labels``
2251 2249 List of string *labels* associated with the repository.
2252 2250
2253 2251 Labels are exposed as a template keyword and can be used to customize
2254 2252 output. e.g. the ``index`` template can group or filter repositories
2255 2253 by labels and the ``summary`` template can display additional content
2256 2254 if a specific label is present.
2257 2255
2258 2256 ``logoimg``
2259 2257 File name of the logo image that some templates display on each page.
2260 2258 The file name is relative to ``staticurl``. That is, the full path to
2261 2259 the logo image is "staticurl/logoimg".
2262 2260 If unset, ``hglogo.png`` will be used.
2263 2261
2264 2262 ``logourl``
2265 2263 Base URL to use for logos. If unset, ``https://mercurial-scm.org/``
2266 2264 will be used.
2267 2265
2268 2266 ``maxchanges``
2269 2267 Maximum number of changes to list on the changelog. (default: 10)
2270 2268
2271 2269 ``maxfiles``
2272 2270 Maximum number of files to list per changeset. (default: 10)
2273 2271
2274 2272 ``maxshortchanges``
2275 2273 Maximum number of changes to list on the shortlog, graph or filelog
2276 2274 pages. (default: 60)
2277 2275
2278 2276 ``name``
2279 2277 Repository name to use in the web interface.
2280 2278 (default: current working directory)
2281 2279
2282 2280 ``port``
2283 2281 Port to listen on. (default: 8000)
2284 2282
2285 2283 ``prefix``
2286 2284 Prefix path to serve from. (default: '' (server root))
2287 2285
2288 2286 ``push_ssl``
2289 2287 Whether to require that inbound pushes be transported over SSL to
2290 2288 prevent password sniffing. (default: True)
2291 2289
2292 2290 ``refreshinterval``
2293 2291 How frequently directory listings re-scan the filesystem for new
2294 2292 repositories, in seconds. This is relevant when wildcards are used
2295 2293 to define paths. Depending on how much filesystem traversal is
2296 2294 required, refreshing may negatively impact performance.
2297 2295
2298 2296 Values less than or equal to 0 always refresh.
2299 2297 (default: 20)
2300 2298
2301 2299 ``staticurl``
2302 2300 Base URL to use for static files. If unset, static files (e.g. the
2303 2301 hgicon.png favicon) will be served by the CGI script itself. Use
2304 2302 this setting to serve them directly with the HTTP server.
2305 2303 Example: ``http://hgserver/static/``.
2306 2304
2307 2305 ``stripes``
2308 2306 How many lines a "zebra stripe" should span in multi-line output.
2309 2307 Set to 0 to disable. (default: 1)
2310 2308
2311 2309 ``style``
2312 2310 Which template map style to use. The available options are the names of
2313 2311 subdirectories in the HTML templates path. (default: ``paper``)
2314 2312 Example: ``monoblue``.
2315 2313
2316 2314 ``templates``
2317 2315 Where to find the HTML templates. The default path to the HTML templates
2318 2316 can be obtained from ``hg debuginstall``.
2319 2317
2320 2318 ``websub``
2321 2319 ----------
2322 2320
2323 2321 Web substitution filter definition. You can use this section to
2324 2322 define a set of regular expression substitution patterns which
2325 2323 let you automatically modify the hgweb server output.
2326 2324
2327 2325 The default hgweb templates only apply these substitution patterns
2328 2326 on the revision description fields. You can apply them anywhere
2329 2327 you want when you create your own templates by adding calls to the
2330 2328 "websub" filter (usually after calling the "escape" filter).
2331 2329
2332 2330 This can be used, for example, to convert issue references to links
2333 2331 to your issue tracker, or to convert "markdown-like" syntax into
2334 2332 HTML (see the examples below).
2335 2333
2336 2334 Each entry in this section names a substitution filter.
2337 2335 The value of each entry defines the substitution expression itself.
2338 2336 The websub expressions follow the old interhg extension syntax,
2339 2337 which in turn imitates the Unix sed replacement syntax::
2340 2338
2341 2339 patternname = s/SEARCH_REGEX/REPLACE_EXPRESSION/[i]
2342 2340
2343 2341 You can use any separator other than "/". The final "i" is optional
2344 2342 and indicates that the search must be case insensitive.
2345 2343
2346 2344 Examples::
2347 2345
2348 2346 [websub]
2349 2347 issues = s|issue(\d+)|<a href="http://bts.example.org/issue\1">issue\1</a>|i
2350 2348 italic = s/\b_(\S+)_\b/<i>\1<\/i>/
2351 2349 bold = s/\*\b(\S+)\b\*/<b>\1<\/b>/
2352 2350
2353 2351 ``worker``
2354 2352 ----------
2355 2353
2356 2354 Parallel master/worker configuration. We currently perform working
2357 2355 directory updates in parallel on Unix-like systems, which greatly
2358 2356 helps performance.
2359 2357
2360 2358 ``numcpus``
2361 2359 Number of CPUs to use for parallel operations. A zero or
2362 2360 negative value is treated as ``use the default``.
2363 2361 (default: 4 or the number of CPUs on the system, whichever is larger)
2364 2362
2365 2363 ``backgroundclose``
2366 2364 Whether to enable closing file handles on background threads during certain
2367 2365 operations. Some platforms aren't very efficient at closing file
2368 2366 handles that have been written or appended to. By performing file closing
2369 2367 on background threads, file write rate can increase substantially.
2370 2368 (default: true on Windows, false elsewhere)
2371 2369
2372 2370 ``backgroundcloseminfilecount``
2373 2371 Minimum number of files required to trigger background file closing.
2374 2372 Operations not writing this many files won't start background close
2375 2373 threads.
2376 2374 (default: 2048)
2377 2375
2378 2376 ``backgroundclosemaxqueue``
2379 2377 The maximum number of opened file handles waiting to be closed in the
2380 2378 background. This option only has an effect if ``backgroundclose`` is
2381 2379 enabled.
2382 2380 (default: 384)
2383 2381
2384 2382 ``backgroundclosethreadcount``
2385 2383 Number of threads to process background file closes. Only relevant if
2386 2384 ``backgroundclose`` is enabled.
2387 2385 (default: 4)
