Mercurial reads configuration data from several files, if they exist.
|
|
|
Below we list the most specific file first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows, these configuration files are read:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``<repo>\.hg\hgrc``
|
|
|
- ``%USERPROFILE%\.hgrc``
|
|
|
- ``%USERPROFILE%\mercurial.ini``
|
|
|
- ``%HOME%\.hgrc``
|
|
|
- ``%HOME%\mercurial.ini``
|
|
|
- ``C:\mercurial\mercurial.ini`` (unless regkey or hgrc.d\ or mercurial.ini found)
|
|
|
- ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercurial`` (unless hgrc.d\ or mercurial.ini found)
|
|
|
- ``<hg.exe-dir>\hgrc.d\*.rc`` (unless mercurial.ini found)
|
|
|
- ``<hg.exe-dir>\mercurial.ini``
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Unix, these files are read:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc``
|
|
|
- ``$HOME/.hgrc``
|
|
|
- ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``
|
|
|
- ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc``
|
|
|
- ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc``
|
|
|
- ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc``
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there is a per-repository configuration file which is not owned by
|
|
|
the active user, Mercurial will warn you that the file is skipped::
|
|
|
|
|
|
not trusting file <repo>/.hg/hgrc from untrusted user USER, group GROUP
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this bothers you, the warning can be silenced (the file would still
|
|
|
be ignored) or trust can be established. Use one of the following
|
|
|
settings, the syntax is explained below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``ui.report_untrusted = False``
|
|
|
- ``trusted.users = USER``
|
|
|
- ``trusted.groups = GROUP``
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configuration files for Mercurial use a simple ini-file format. A
|
|
|
configuration file consists of sections, led by a ``[section]`` header
|
|
|
and followed by ``name = value`` entries::
|
|
|
|
|
|
[ui]
|
|
|
username = Firstname Lastname <firstname.lastname@example.net>
|
|
|
verbose = True
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above entries will be referred to as ``ui.username`` and
|
|
|
``ui.verbose``, respectively. Please see the hgrc man page for a full
|
|
|
description of the possible configuration values:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- on Unix-like systems: ``man hgrc``
