2. Enabling an extension
To load an extension, you add it to the "extensions" section of your [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html .hgrc] file.
Mercurial will scan the default python library path for a file named hgk.py if you set hgk empty:
[extensions] hgk=
Extensions are usually located in the hgext directory, and that is the recommended directory to place them. In this case you can load them like:
[extensions] hgext.hgk=
You can also specify an absolute path:
[extensions] hgk=/usr/local/lib/hgk.py
Extensions can often be configured further in an extension specific section in the same configuration file.
See CategoryExtension for a more complete list and WritingExtensions for more information about the installation and writing of new extensions.
