| 17 | | Note that we maintain an official Mercurial mirror of the SubversionRepository there, see [http://bitbucket.org/edgewall/trac edgewall/trac]. |
| 18 | | |
| 19 | | == Basic Mercurial Setup |
| 20 | | |
| 21 | | Obviously, you will need a Mercurial client: |
| 22 | | - The "raw" command-line client can be downloaded here: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/ |
| 23 | | - A GUI client for Windows also exists, surprisingly named [http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/ TortoiseHG] |
| 24 | | |
| 25 | | It is considered Good Practice to first get things working with command-line, before moving to GUI-based solutions. |
| 26 | | |
| 27 | | Once the client is installed, some basic configuration is in order. Create the global configuration file, depending on your platform: |
| 28 | | - On Windows XP and earlier: `C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini` |
| 29 | | - On Windows Vista and newer: `C:\Users\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini` |
| 30 | | - TODO: Other OS? |
| 31 | | |
| 32 | | This configuration file is ini-style. |
| 33 | | Important settings for working with the Trac BitBucket mirror: |
| 34 | | {{{#!ini |
| 35 | | [extensions] |
| 36 | | convert = |
| 37 | | eol = |
| 38 | | graphlog = |
| 39 | | ; See below concerning external extensions |
| 40 | | hgsvnutils = /path/to/HgExts/HgSvnUtils/HgSvnUtils.py |
| 41 | | |
| 42 | | [diff] |
| 43 | | git = true |
| 44 | | }}} |
| 45 | | |
| 46 | | === Mercurial Extensions |
| 47 | | |
| 48 | | For details on the concept of extensions see https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/UsingExtensions |
| 49 | | |
| 50 | | An important external extension for Trac development with Mercurial is the [http://rc.c-space.org/hg/HgSvnUtils HgSvnUtils] extension (maintained by RemyBlank). |
| 51 | | |
| 52 | | To install it, go to some local directory and run (from command-line) |
| 53 | | {{{ |
| 54 | | hg clone http://rc.c-space.org/hg/HgSvnUtils |
| 55 | | }}} |
| 56 | | and then set the `hgsvnutils` option mentioned above to the checked-out location. |
| 57 | | |
| 58 | | === Working with BitBucket |
| 59 | | |
| 60 | | Once you installed Mercurial command-line client, you can `hg clone http://bitbucket.org/edgewall/trac` (or any other public repository). |
| 61 | | |
| 62 | | After creating an account and a repository (or Trac-fork), you will also be able to push & pull changes against the remote repository: |
| 63 | | - Using `https://USERNAME@bitbucket.org/USERNAME/reponame` over SSL (built-in support in the Mercurial client); or |
| 64 | | - Using `ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/USERNAME/reponame` over SSH (note that this uses `hg` as username!)[[BR]] |
| 65 | | For this you will need `ssh` client and SSH key-pair |
| 66 | | - See http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Using+SSH+to+Access+your+Bitbucket+Repository for instructions |
| 67 | | - If you're on Linux, you probably already have `ssh` and keys, so good for you. |
| 68 | | - If you're on Windows, `ssh` is not native. You may obtain a `ssh` client for Windows (like `plink.exe`), but why bother, when you have the SSL option? |
