MERCURIAL QUICK-START
Setting up Mercurial:
Note: some distributions fails to include bits of distutils by
default, you'll need python-dev to install. You'll also need a C
compiler and a 3-way merge tool like merge, tkdiff, or kdiff3.
First, unpack the source:
$ tar xvzf mercurial-<ver>.tar.gz
$ cd mercurial-<ver>
To install system-wide:
$ python setup.py install # change python to python2.3 if 2.2 is default
To install in your home directory (~/bin and ~/lib, actually), run:
$ python2.3 setup.py install --home=~
$ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python # (or lib64/ on some systems)
$ export PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH # add these to your .bashrc
And finally:
$ hg # test installation, show help
If you get complaints about missing modules, you probably haven't set
PYTHONPATH correctly.
Setting up a Mercurial project:
$ cd project/
$ hg init # creates .hg
$ hg addremove # add all unknown files and remove all missing files
$ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry
Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your
repository which contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in
file paths.
Branching and merging:
$ hg clone linux linux-work # create a new branch
$ cd linux-work
$ <make changes>
$ hg commit
$ cd ../linux
$ hg pull ../linux-work # pull changesets from linux-work
$ hg update -m # merge the new tip from linux-work into
# our working directory
$ hg commit # commit the result of the merge
Importing patches:
Fast:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg addremove
$ hg commit
Faster:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg commit `lsdiff -p1 ../p/foo.patch`
Fastest:
$ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p
Exporting a patch:
(make changes)
$ hg commit
$ hg tip
28237:747a537bd090880c29eae861df4d81b245aa0190
$ hg export 28237 > foo.patch # export changeset 28237
Network support:
# pull from the primary Mercurial repo
foo$ hg clone http://selenic.com/hg/
foo$ cd hg
# export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface
foo$ hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80
# pushing changes to a remote repo with SSH
foo$ hg push ssh://user@example.com/~/hg/
# merge changes from a remote machine
bar$ hg pull http://foo/
bar$ hg update -m # merge changes into your working directory
# Set up a CGI server on your webserver
foo$ cp hgweb.cgi ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi
foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi # adjust the defaults
