Mercurial for Windows
Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!
Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a<br /> href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW shell).
Note: the standard http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW
msys startup script uses rxvt which has problems setting up
standard input and output. Running bash directly works
correctly.
For documentation, please visit the <a<br /> href="https://mercurial-scm.org/">Mercurial web site.
You can also download a free book, <a<br /> href="https://book.mercurial-scm.org/">Mercurial: The Definitive
Guide.
By default, Mercurial installs to C:\Program
Files\Mercurial. The Mercurial command is called
hg.exe.
Testing Mercurial after you've installed it
The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is
to just type the following at the command prompt:
hg
This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.
Configuration notes
Default editor
The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set
the EDITOR (or HGEDITOR) environment variable
to specify your preference or set it in mercurial.ini:
[ui]
editor = whatever
Configuring a Merge program
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.
By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the
HGMERGE environment variable, or uses the one defined
in the mercurial.ini file. (see <a<br /> href="https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MergeProgram">MergeProgram
on the Mercurial Wiki for more information)
