The mercurial server used in this article is the https://code.google.com/p/mercurial001, if the reader needs to test, you can leave your googlecode username, I can add you as committer, you can test all the functions.

 

1) clone the project from the remote repository to the local machine, and then modify and submit it to the remote Repository

 

Explanation:
# Clone mercurial001 repository to a local machine.
$ Hg clone https://code.google.com/p/mercurial001
# Switch to the mercurial directory
$ CD mercurial001
# Add a new file t2.txt under the current directory mercurial001.
# The t2.txt is in the Add status.
$ Hg add
# Configure your own user information before commit and push. If no user is configured, the logon user of the local machine is used by default in commit, in this case, the default server value in the configuration file is the clone source by default.
Bytes.
# Submit the modification to the local repository.
$ Hg commit-m'add t2.txt '[-u AAA]
# Connect the local repository to the remote mercurial001 repository.
$ Hg push [http://selenic.com/repo/hello]

2) configuration:. HG/hgrc configuration file

 

Explanation:
