These
commands are very much to the subversion.
1. Creating a repository (hg init)
Create
a mercurial repository in an empty directory by using the init
command:
[root@localhost
~]# mkdir Test
[root@localhost
~]# cd Test
[root@localhost
Test]# hg init
[root@localhost
Test]# ls -lar
total
12
drwxr-xr-x.
3 root root 4096 May 21 06:42 .hg
dr-xr-x---.
36 root root 4096 May 21 06:40 ..
drwxr-xr-x.
3 root root 4096 May 21 06:42 .
Now
there is an empty repository created, locally in your directory. The
repository contains both a
working
copy, and the repository data (the history information).
2. Adding a file (hg add)
Schedule a file for addition
[root@localhost
Test]# echo "Testing1" >>test.txt
[root@localhost
Test]# ls -lar
total
16
-rw-r--r--.
1 root root 9 May 21 06:47 test.txt
drwxr-xr-x.
3 root root 4096 May 21 06:42 .hg
dr-xr-x---.
36 root root 4096 May 21 06:40 ..
drwxr-xr-x.
3 root root 4096 May 21 06:47 .
[root@localhost
Test]# hg add
