  33.     <h1>Mercurial for Windows</h1>
  34.  
  35.     <p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>
  36.  
  37.     <p>
  38.       Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
  39.       the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
  40.       href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).
  41.     </p>
  42.  
  43.     <p class="indented">
  44.       <i>Note: the standard <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>
  45.       msys startup script uses rxvt which has problems setting up
  46.       standard input and output. Running bash directly works
  47.       correctly.</i>
  48.     </p>
  49.  
  50.     <p>
  51.       For documentation, please visit the <a
  52.       href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/">Mercurial web site</a>.
  53.       You can also download a free book, <a
  54.       href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial: The Definitive
  55.       Guide</a>.
  56.     </p>
  57.  
  58.     <p>
  59.       By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Program
  60.       Files\Mercurial</tt>. The Mercurial command is called
  61.       <tt>hg.exe</tt>.
  62.     </p>
  63.  
  64.     <h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1>
  65.  
  66.     <p>
  67.       The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is
  68.       to just type the following at the command prompt:
  69.     </p>
  70.  
  71.     <pre>
  72. hg
  73. </pre>
  74.  
  75.     <p>
  76.       This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
  77.       other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.
  78.     </p>
  79.  
  80.     <h1>Configuration notes</h1>
  81.     <h4>Default editor</h4>
  82.     <p>
  83.       The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set
  84.       the <tt>EDITOR</tt> (or <tt>HGEDITOR</tt>) environment variable
  85.       to specify your preference or set it in <tt>mercurial.ini</tt>:
  86.     </p>
  87.     <pre>
  88. [ui]
  89. editor = whatever
  90. </pre>
  91.  
  92.     <h4>Configuring a Merge program</h4>
  93.     <p>
  94.       It should be emphasized that Mercurial by itself doesn't attempt
  95.       to do a Merge at the file level, neither does it make any
  96.       attempt to Resolve the conflicts.
  97.     </p>
  98.  
  99.     <p>
  100.       By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the
  101.       <tt>HGMERGE</tt> environment variable, or uses the one defined
  102.       in the <tt>mercurial.ini</tt> file. (see <a
  103.       href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MergeProgram">MergeProgram</a>
  104.       on the Mercurial Wiki for more information)
