= A tutorial on using Mercurial =

This tutorial is an introduction to using Mercurial. We don't assume any particular background in using [:SCM] software.

After you work through this tutorial, you should have a grasp of the following:
 * The basic concepts and commands you'll need to use Mercurial
 * How to use Mercurial in simple ways to contribute to a software project

It is also strongly recommended that you have a look at the Mercurial man pages [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html hg(1)] and [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html hgrc(5)], which are also available in the [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/release/?M=D release tarballs] as {{{doc/hg.1.html}}} and {{{doc/hgrc.5.html}}}. You can also use `hg help <command>` on the command line.

The tutorial is split into the following pages:

 1. [:TutorialInstall] - installing Mercurial
 1. [:TutorialClone] - making a copy of an existing [:Repository:repository]
 1. [:TutorialHistory] - navigating the history of a repository
 1. [:TutorialFirstChange] - making your first change
 1. [:TutorialShareChange] - sharing changes with another repository
 1. [:TutorialExport] - sharing changes with another person
 1. [:TutorialMerge] - handling multiple independent changes to a file
 1. [:TutorialConflict] - handling [:Merge:merges] that need manual resolution
 1. [:TutorialConclusion] - the end

== How to read this tutorial ==

The formatting convention is simple. Command names and parameters are displayed in {{{fixed font}}}.

A line of input that you should type into your shell or command prompt is displayed in a fixed font, and the line will start with a {{{$}}} character.

A line of output that you should expect Mercurial or your shell to display is displayed in a fixed font, but with no special character at the start of the line.

{{{
$ this is a line of user input
this is a line of program output
}}}

We use the {{{bash}}} shell in all examples. The concepts remain the same for other Unix shells and the Windows {{{cmd.exe}}}, but the syntax of some operations may change. For example, {{{ls}}} in a Unix shell is roughly equivalent to {{{dir}}} under Windows, and Unix {{{vi}}} is similar to Windows {{{edit}}}.

Now, let's begin with [:TutorialInstall].

Glendora Kalish is my title and I totally dig that name. What I seriously enjoy carrying out is canoeing and now I have time to just take on new things. For a long time I have been living in South Dakota. I function as a economic officer and I really don't feel I'll alter it at any time shortly. My husband and I preserve a internet site.
