====== Mercurial ======

** Snippets to help remember how to use Mercurial Version Control **

===== Create a Repository =====

  * Work on files until ready to start version control
  * Create a repository in the directory
    * ''hg init''
  * add the files
    * ''hg add''
  * commit the changes
    * ''hg commit''
    * edit the comments and save them
    * or use ''hg commit -m "adding initial version of hello.txt"'' to add comments directly to the commit log
  * This has made the first version of the repository.

===== Simple workflow =====

  * Work on files in the repository directory (or copy in files edited and tested elsewhere)
  * Add any new files
    * ''hg add''
  * Commit any changes
    * ''hg commit -m "comments....."''
  * This keeps the local (master?) repository up to date with all the changes, in case a reversion to a previous version is necessary. All changes are tracked.

===== Remote copies =====

  * on another machine you can ''clone'' a repository - to work on it or as a backup
  * by ''ssh''
    * ''%%hg clone ssh://gm4slv@xgate//path/to/repo%%''
    * this will pull the repo files across and make an exact copy
    * in future you can pull any new changes made on the other (master?) repo by ''hg pull''
    * any changes will be brought over, but the working directory won't be brought up to date until you update it:
      * ''hg update''
      * to make this automatic add to the clone repo's .hg/hgrc:

  [hooks]
  changegroup = hg update

  * any changes made in the ''clone'' repo can he sent back to the ''master'' by ''hg push''
    * remember to log into the ''master'' machine's repo and use ''hg update'' - or add the same lines to its .hg/hgrc

  [hooks]
  changegroup = hg update

  * any changes made in the ''master'' repo can be pushed to the clone(s) using ''hg push'' too.
  * the ''hgrc'' file holds the paths for push and pull destinations - should be self explanatory.


  * The log of commits ''hg log'' looks like:
