| #pragma section-numbers 2 = Quick Start = ''(see also [[UnderstandingMercurial]], [[Tutorial]], [[QuickStart2]] and http://mercurial.selenic.com/quickstart/)'' <<TableOfContents>> == 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}}} <<FootNote(http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html)>> (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 9633 changesets with 19124 changes to 1271 files updating to branch default 1084 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 [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#update|check out]] the [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#tip|tip]]most [[ChangeSet|changeset]] from the default branch (see [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#clone|clone]]). See which revision was checked out (see [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#parents|parents]]): {{{ $ cd mercurial-repo $ hg parents changeset: 9632:16698d87ad20 tag: tip user: Nicolas Dumazet <...> date: Mon Sep 21 19:21:32 2009 +0200 summary: util: use sys.argv[0] if $HG is unset and 'hg' is not in PATH }}} The [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#summary|summary]] command (introduced with Mercurial 1.4) will summarize the state of the [[WorkingDirectory|working directory]]. Command names may be abbreviated, so entering just {{{hg sum}}} is enough: {{{ $ hg sum parent: 9632:16698d87ad20 tip util: use sys.argv[0] if $HG is unset and 'hg' is not in PATH branch: default commit: (clean) update: (current) }}} {{{commit: (clean)}}} means that there no local changes, {{{update: (current)}}} means that the checked out files (in the working directory) are [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#update|update]]d to the newest revision in the repository. == Setting up a new Mercurial project == You'll want to start by creating a repository (see [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#init|init]]): {{{ $ cd project/ $ hg init # creates .hg }}} Mercurial will look for a file named [[.hgignore]] <<FootNote(http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgignore.5.html)>> 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 (see [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#status|status]]): {{{ $ 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 [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#add|add]]ed, then [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#commit|commit]]: {{{ $ hg add # add those 'unknown' files $ hg commit # commit all changes into a new changeset, edit changelog entry $ hg parents # see the currently checked out revision (or changeset) }}} For a detailed description of all commands see http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html or enter {{{ $ hg help }}} to get an overview of all commands. Help for a specific command is available by giving the command name {{{ $ hg help add }}} == 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 [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#clone|clone]], [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#commit|commit]], [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#pull|pull]], [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#merge|merge]] == Exporting a patch == {{{ (make changes) $ hg commit $ hg export tip # export the most recent commit }}} See [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#export|export]] == Network support == {{{ # clone from the primary Mercurial repo $ hg clone http://selenic.com/hg/ $ cd hg # pull new changesets from an existing other repo into the repository (.hg) $ hg pull http://selenic.com/hg/ # export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface on port 8000 $ hg serve -n "My repo" # push changesets to a remote repo with SSH $ hg push ssh://user@example.com/hg/ }}} See [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#pull|pull]], [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#serve|serve]], [[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#push|push]] ---- '''translations:''' [[ChineseQuickStart|Chinese]] [[FrenchQuickStart|Français]] [[QuickStartDe|German]] [[QuickStartPtBr|Portuguese]] [[JapaneseQuickStart|Japanese]] [[ThaiQuickStart|Thai]] |
