| == Mercurial working practices == This page documents some ways to use Mercurial. Because the software is flexible, there's no "right way", but some methods are more scalable than others. These are a few tips for creating a scaleable workflow. First, [[Merge|merge]] often! This makes merging easier for everyone and you find out about conflicts (which are often rooted in incompatible design decisions) earlier. Second, don't hesitate to use multiple trees locally. Mercurial makes this fast and light-weight. Typical usage is to have an incoming tree, an outgoing tree, and a separate tree for each area being worked on. The incoming tree is best maintained as a pristine copy of the upstream [[Repository|repository]]. This works as a cache so that you don't have to [[Pull|pull]] multiple copies over the network. No need to check files out here as you won't be changing them. The outgoing tree contains all the changes you intend for merge into upstream. Publish this tree with {{{hg serve}}} or hgweb.cgi or use {{{hg push}}} to [[Push|push]] it to another publicly available repository. Then, for each feature you work on, create a new tree. [[Commit]] early and commit often, merge with incoming regularly, and once you're satisfied with your feature, pull the changes into your outgoing tree. === Other ways to collaborate === || '''Name''' || '''Scalability''' || '''Overhead''' || '''Description''' || || CvsLikePractice || poor || low || keep things simple, use a few central repositories || || KernelPractice || good || medium || distributed, semi-hierarchical development || || ControlledPractice || good || medium || hierarchical development || === See also === * How to write good ChangeSetComments * RepositoryNaming is important, because you'll probably have lots of them * [[Clone]] * MultipleCommitters ---- Question: Do you know which is the one HG takes itself? .
