A tutorial on using Mercurial

(Translations: [:ChineseTutorial:Chinese], [:FrenchTutorial:French], [:GermanTutorial:German], [:ItalianTutorial:Italian], [:JapaneseTutorial:Japanese], [:KoreanTutorial:Korean], [:BrazilianPortugueseTutorial:Brazilian Portuguese], [:SpanishTutorial:Spanish] [:RussianTutorial:Russian] [:UkrainianTutorial:Ukrainian] )

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.cadifra.com/mercurial/hg.1.html hg(1)] and [http://www.cadifra.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.

1. 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.
