I use linux, but apparently tortoisehg is faster and better than the git equivalent on windows (due to better usage of the poor windows filesystem). Inspired by git for beginners This is a compilation of information on using mercurial for beginners for practical use Svn is different from git and mercurial, in that it is a single repository that all users have to pull and commit to Git and mercurial have a distributed model This means that there is a repository on every computer and there is usually an official repository that people will choose to commit their changes to and pull from
Git and mercurial are extremely similar Mercurial uses rename tracking, while git uses rename detection to deal with file renames network I have a pair of commits that should really be just one If i was using git, i would use Can i do that in mercurial With subversion, i used the visual svn server to get it up and serving in a few minutes
277 i used mercurial in a personal project, and i have been typing my username and password every time i want to push something to the server I tried adding the following to the.hgrc file in my home directory, but it seems to be completely ignored [ui] username = my_user_name password = my_password how to do this the right way? 255 i'm using mercurial locally for a project (it's the only repo there's no pushing/pulling to/from anywhere else) To date it's got a linear history However, the current thing i'm working on i've now realized is a terrible approach and i want to go back to the version before i started it and implement it a different way.
Will mercurial allow reusing a closed branch's name I.e., if you have a v3 branch, can you use the technique above to rename it to v4 and then fork off a new v3 branch despite having left behind a closed v3? Hg pull and then a Hg merge incidentally the revert you did if you actually used the hg revert command didn't remove those files from history, so your history is probably pretty big Consider reading the first few chapters of the mercurial book it covers these situations quite well.
