<h1>Mercurial for Windows</h1>
<p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>
<p>
Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).
</p>
<p class="indented">
<i>Note: the standard <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>
msys startup script uses rxvt which has problems setting up
standard input and output. Running bash directly works
correctly.</i>
</p>
<p>
For documentation, please visit the <a
href="https://mercurial-scm.org/">Mercurial web site</a>.
You can also download a free book, <a
href="https://book.mercurial-scm.org/">Mercurial: The Definitive
Guide</a>.
</p>
<p>
By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Program
Files\Mercurial</tt>. The Mercurial command is called
<tt>hg.exe</tt>.
</p>
<h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1>
<p>
The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is
to just type the following at the command prompt:
</p>
<pre>
hg
</pre>
<p>
This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.
</p>
<h1>Configuration notes</h1>
<h4>Default editor</h4>
<p>
The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set
the <tt>EDITOR</tt> (or <tt>HGEDITOR</tt>) environment variable
to specify your preference or set it in <tt>mercurial.ini</tt>:
</p>
<pre>
[ui]
editor = whatever
</pre>
<h4>Configuring a Merge program</h4>
<p>
It should be emphasized that Mercurial by itself doesn't attempt
to do a Merge at the file level, neither does it make any
attempt to Resolve the conflicts.
</p>
<p>
By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the
<tt>HGMERGE</tt> environment variable, or uses the one defined
in the <tt>mercurial.ini</tt> file. (see <a
href="https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MergeProgram">MergeProgram</a>
on the Mercurial Wiki for more information)
