Initial setup

-------------

This Mercurial configuration example is used for testing.

.. Various setup

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF

  > [ui]

  > logtemplate ="{node|short} ({phase}): {desc}\n"

  > [diff]

  > git = 1

  > [alias]

  > # "-d '0 0'" means that the new commit will be at January 1st 1970.

  > # This is used for stable hash during test

  > amend = amend -d '0 0'

  > [extensions]

  > hgext.graphlog=

  > EOF

  $ hg init local

  $ cat >> local/.hg/hgrc << EOF

  > [paths]

  > remote = ../remote

  > other = ../other

  > [ui]

  > user = Babar the King

  > EOF

  $ hg init remote

  $ cat >> remote/.hg/hgrc << EOF

  > [paths]

  > local = ../local

  > [ui]

  > user = Celestine the Queen

  > EOF

  $ hg init other

  $ cat >> other/.hg/hgrc << EOF

  > [ui]

  > user = Princess Flore

  > EOF

A compact log template with phase data:

  $ hg showconfig ui

  ui.slash=True

  ui.logtemplate="{node|short} ({phase}): {desc}\n"

Improved git format diff:

  $ hg showconfig diff

  diff.git=1

And the graphlog extension

  $ hg showconfig extensions

  extensions.hgext.graphlog=

And of course, we anabled the experimental extensions for mutable history:

  $ $(dirname $TESTDIR)/enable.sh >> $HGRCPATH 2> /dev/null

Single Developer Usage

This tutorial shows how to use evolution to rewrite history locally.

Fixing mistake with `hg amend`

--------------------------------

We are versionning a shopping list

  $ cd local

  $ cat  >> shopping << EOF

  > Spam

  > Whizzo butter

  > Albatross

  > Rat (rather a lot)

  > Jugged fish

  > Blancmange

  > Salmon mousse

  > EOF

  $ hg commit -A -m "Monthy Python Shopping list"

  adding shopping

Its first version is shared with the outside.

  $ hg push remote

  pushing to $TESTTMP/remote

  searching for changes

  adding changesets

  adding manifests

  adding file changes

  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files

Later I add additional item to my list

  $ cat >> shopping << EOF

  > Egg

  > Suggar

  > Vinegar

  > Oil

  > EOF

  $ hg commit -m "adding condiment"

  $ cat >> shopping << EOF

  > Bananos

  > Pear

  > Apple

  > EOF

  $ hg commit -m "adding fruit"

This history is very linear

While I was working on my list. someone help made a change remotly.

"bathroom stuff"

You can use 'rebase -r' or 'graft -O' for that:
