Comment: Added sudo to hg serve command since port 80 will not be accessible to non-root users, alternative would be to use another port > 1024 in this example.

== 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}}} (or on a Windows system in {{{%USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini}}}) by adding lines such as the following:

{{{
[ui]
username = John Doe <john@example.com>
}}}

== Working on an existing Mercurial project ==

If you have a URL to a browsable project [[Repository|repository]] (for example [[http://selenic.com/hg]]), you can grab a copy like so:

{{{
$ hg clone http://selenic.com/hg mercurial-repo
real URL is http://www.selenic.com/hg/
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 6908 changesets with 13429 changes to 976 files
updating working directory
861 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
}}}

This will create a new directory called {{{mercurial-repo}}}, grab the complete project history, and [[Update|check out]] the [[Tip|tip]]most [[ChangeSet|changeset]] (see also [[Clone]]).

See which revision was checked out:

{{{
$ cd mercurial-repo
$ hg parents
changeset: 6907:6dcbe191a9b5
tag: tip
user: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>
date: Mon Aug 18 16:50:36 2008 -0500
summary: Fix up tests
}}}

== Setting up a new Mercurial project ==

You'll want to start by creating a 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 glob patterns and 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 '?' flag (not tracked). 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|commit]]:

{{{
$ hg add # add those 'unknown' files
$ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry
$ hg parents # see the currently checked out revision
}}}

== Clone, Commit, Merge ==

{{{
$ hg clone project project-work # clone repository
$ cd project-work
$ <make changes>
$ hg commit
$ cd ../project
$ <make other changes>
$ hg commit
$ hg pull ../project-work # pull changesets from project-work
$ hg merge # merge the new tip from project-work into our working directory
$ hg parents # see the revisions that have been merged into the working directory
$ hg commit # commit the result of the merge
}}}

See also: [[Clone]], [[Commit]], [[Pull]], [[Merge]], [[Parent]]

== Exporting a patch ==

{{{
(make changes)
$ hg commit
$ hg export tip # export the most recent commit
}}}

See also: [[Export]]

== Network support ==

{{{
# clone from the primary Mercurial repo
foo$ hg clone http://selenic.com/hg/
foo$ cd hg

# update an existing repo
foo$ hg pull http://selenic.com/hg/

# export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface
foo$ sudo hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80

# push changes to a remote repo with SSH
foo$ hg push ssh://user@example.com/hg/
}}}
