Hgk extension
This extension is currently being distributed along with Mercurial.
Author: Chris Mason
Overview
The hgk extension allows browsing the history of a repository in a graphical way. It's a direct port of the gitk tool used with git and requires Tcl/Tk version 8.4 or later, which is not being distributed with Mercurial.
The hgk.py extension adds a view command as well as other interfaces that hgk uses to communicate with Mercurial in a git-like manner.
Configuration
hgk is found in the contrib directory. hgk.py is located in the hgext directory.
To load an extension, you add it to your .hgrc file (you have to use your global $HOME/.hgrc file, not one in a repository). You can specify an absolute path:
[extensions] hgk=/usr/local/lib/hgk.py
Mercurial can also scan the default python library path for a file named 'hgk.py' if you set hgk empty:
[extensions] hgk=
You would also need to add hgk to your search path, or specify the path to hgk in your .hgrc file:
[hgk] path=/location/of/hgk
In version 0.7, this extension is named "hgit" (without the .py) and does not provide the view command. You must invoke hgk directly.
Now hg help will show the new commands provided by the hgk extension:
$ hg help ... status show changed files in the working directory tag add a tag for the current tip or a given revision tags list repository tags tip show the tip revision unbundle apply a changegroup file undo undo the last commit or pull update update or merge working directory verify verify the integrity of the repository version output version and copyright information view start interactive history viewer $ hg view
Configuration for Windows NT
Under Windows NT, we need to make sure Hg can invoke the hgk script. So, assuming you have Tcl/TK installed, create a file called hgk.cmd with the following content (just replace the path to the hgk script on your system):
@wish C:\path\to\hgk %*
As with the Unix environment, you need to add hgk.cmd to the search path, or specify the path to hgk in your mercurial.ini file:
[hgk] path=C:\location\of\hgk.cmd
Keyboard Accelerators
The following key combinations can be used to perform certain actions:
Ctrl+q quit Ctrl+f find Ctrl+= or Ctrl+<Keypad +> increase font size Ctrl+- or Ctrl+<Keypad -> decrease font size Ctrl+g, Return, or '/' find next match Ctrl+r or '?' find previous match Arrow-up select previous changeset Arrow-down select next changeset Page-up or 'p' scroll changeset list up one page Page-down or 'n' scroll changeset list down one page Delete, Backspace or 'b' scroll viewed changeset up one page Space scroll viewed changeset down one page 'd' scroll viewed changeset down 18 lines 'u' scroll viewed changeset up 18 lines
Selected font size will be saved in ~/.gitk and reused in the next session.
