Initial setup

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

This Mercurial configuration example is used for testing.

.. Various setup

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF

  > [ui]

  > # This is change the default output of log for clear tutorial

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

  > [diff]

  > # use "git" diff format, clearer and smarter format

  > 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

  > # (this tutorial is automatically tested.)

  > amend = amend -d '0 0'

  > 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

This tutorial uses the following configuration for Mercurial:

A compact log template with phase data:

  $ hg showconfig ui | grep log

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

Improved git format diff:

  $ hg showconfig diff

  diff.git=1

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

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF

  > [extensions]

  > evolve = $TESTDIR/../hgext3rd/evolve/

  > # enabling rebase is also needed for now

  > rebase =

  > EOF

#if docgraph-ext

  $ . "$TESTDIR/testlib/docgraph_setup.sh" #rest-ignore

#endif

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

Single Developer Usage

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

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

Fixing mistake with `hg amend`

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

We are versioning 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 (glob)

  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

The faulty changeset is in the "draft" phase because it has not been exchanged with

the outside. The first one has been exchanged and is "public" (immutable).

Getting rid of branchy history

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

While I was working on my list. Someone made a change remotely.

  $ cd ../remote

  $ hg up -q

  $ sed -i'' -e 's/Spam/Spam Spam Spam/' shopping

  $ hg ci -m 'SPAM'

  $ cd ../local

I'll get this remote changeset when pulling

  $ hg pull remote

  pulling from $TESTTMP/remote (glob)

  searching for changes

  adding changesets

  adding manifests

  adding file changes

  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)

  (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge)

I now have a new head. Note that this remote head is immutable.
