- <h1>Mercurial for Windows</h1>
-
- <p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>
-
- <p>
- Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
- the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
- href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).
- </p>
-
- <p class="indented">
- <i>Note: the standard <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>
- msys startup script uses rxvt which has problems setting up
- standard input and output. Running bash directly works
- correctly.</i>
- </p>
-
- <p>
- For documentation, please visit the <a
- href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/">Mercurial web site</a>.
- You can also download a free book, <a
- href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial: The Definitive
- Guide</a>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Program
- Files\Mercurial</tt>. The Mercurial command is called
- <tt>hg.exe</tt>.
- </p>
-
- <h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1>
-
- <p>
- The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is
- to just type the following at the command prompt:
- </p>
-
- <pre>
- hg
- </pre>
-
- <p>
- This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
- other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.
- </p>
-
- <h1>Configuration notes</h1>
- <h4>Default editor</h4>
- <p>
- The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set
- the <tt>EDITOR</tt> (or <tt>HGEDITOR</tt>) environment variable
- to specify your preference or set it in <tt>mercurial.ini</tt>:
- </p>
- <pre>
- [ui]
- editor = whatever
- </pre>
-
- <h4>Configuring a Merge program</h4>
- <p>
- It should be emphasized that Mercurial by itself doesn't attempt
- to do a Merge at the file level, neither does it make any
- attempt to Resolve the conflicts.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the
- <tt>HGMERGE</tt> environment variable, or uses the one defined
- in the <tt>mercurial.ini</tt> file. (see <a
- href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MergeProgram">MergeProgram</a>
- on the Mercurial Wiki for more information)
- </p>
