Mercurial

Misc

hg

config file

• Windows: C:\Users\<User>\mercurial.ini
• Linux: ~/.hgrc

Username/Mail

If you are using the commandline, make sure to add to your config file:

[ui]
username = John Doe <john@example.com>

aliases

mercurial command line log as one line per commit

Windows: add:

[alias]
logline = log --template "{node|short} | {date|isodatesec} | {author|user}: {desc|strip|firstline}\n"

Linux: add: (the only difference to Windows is " vs '

[alias]
logline = log --template '{node|short} | {date|isodatesec} | {author|user}: {desc|strip|firstline}\n'

ssh

Normally you will want to use the default OS ssh. So add the following to the config file:

[ui]
ssh = ssh -C

The "-C" seems to enable compression. Not sure yet, but I keep it for now.

IF you can normally ssh to the other machine with

ssh v-rooster

then now you should be able to do a

hg -v push ssh://v-rooster/work/repo1/

or pull or clone or whatever you want to do.

You can give a name and/or port like this:

hg -v push ssh://user@v-rooster:port/work/repo1/

but it would make more sense to configure your port to connect correctly. Example under Windows 10, modify your C:\Users\<user>\.ssh\config

 Host v-rooster
   HostName        1.2.3.4
   User            meaMario
   Port            22
   IdentityFile   C:\Users\<user>\.ssh\id_rsa-no-pw

TortoiseHG

Why does hg not work?

After you installed TortoiseHG, add the path to the install directory of TortoiseHG to the PATH variable. (Start/Settings/System/About/System Info/Advanced system settings/Environment Variables...)
