== Setting a username ==

By default Mercurial uses a username of the form 'user@localhost' for commits.
This is often meaningless. It's best to configure a proper email address in {{{~/.hgrc}}} by adding lines such as the following:

{{{
[ui]
username = Author Name <email@address>
}}}

== Working on an existing Mercurial project ==

If you have a URL to a browsable project repository (eg: http://selenic.com/hg), you can grab a copy like so:

{{{
$ hg clone http://selenic.com/hg
}}}

This will create a new directory called hg (by default), grab the complete project history, and check out the tipmost changeset.

== Setting up a new Mercurial project ==

You'll want to start by creating an hg repository:

{{{
$ cd project/
$ hg init # creates .hg
}}}

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. Here's an example .hgignore file:

{{{
syntax: glob
*.orig
*.rej
*~
*.o
tests/*.err

syntax: regexp
.*\#.*\#$
}}}

Test your .hgignore file with:

{{{
$ hg status # show all non-ignored files
}}}

This will list all files that are not ignored with a 'U' flag (unknown). Edit your .hgignore file until only files you want to track are listed by status. You'll want to track your .hgignore file too! But you'll probably not want to track files generated by your build process. Once you're satisfied, schedule your files to be added, then commit:

{{{
$ hg add # add those 'unknown' files
$ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry
}}}

== 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 merge # merge the new tip from linux-work into
                            # (old versions used "hg update -m" instead)
                            # our working directory
$ hg commit # commit the result of the merge
}}}

== Importing patches ==

Fast:
{{{
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg addremove # add and remove files added/removed by the patch
$ 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 merge # merge changes into your working directory

# Set up a CGI server on your webserver
foo$ cp hgwebdir.cgi ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi
foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi # adjust the defaults
