HGRC(5) ======= Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com> NAME ---- hgrc - configuration files for Mercurial SYNOPSIS -------- The Mercurial system uses a set of configuration files to control aspects of its behaviour. FILES ----- Mercurial reads configuration data from two files: $HOME/.hgrc:: Global configuration options that apply to all Mercurial commands, no matter where they are run. <repo>/.hg/hgrc:: Per-repository configuration options that only apply in a particular repository. This file is not version-controlled, and will not get transferred during a "clone" operation. Values in this file override global values. SYNTAX ------ A configuration file consists of sections, led by a "[section]" header and followed by "name: value" entries; "name=value" is also accepted. [spam] eggs=ham green= eggs Each line contains one entry. If the lines that follow are indented, they are treated as continuations of that entry. Leading whitespace is removed from values. Empty lines are skipped. The optional values can contain format strings which refer to other values in the same section, or values in a special DEFAULT section. Lines beginning with "#" or ";" are ignored and may be used to provide comments. SECTIONS -------- This section describes the different sections that may appear in a Mercurial "hgrc" file, the purpose of each section, its possible keys, and their possible values. hooks:: Commands that get automatically executed by various actions such as starting or finishing a commit. precommit;; Run before starting a commit. Exit status 0 allows the commit to proceed. Non-zero status will cause the commit to fail. commit;; Run after a changeset has been created. Passed the ID of the newly created changeset. http_proxy:: Used to access web-based Mercurial repositories through a HTTP proxy. host;; Host name and (optional) port of the proxy server, for example "myproxy:8000". user;; Optional. User name to authenticate with at the proxy server. passwd;; Optional. Password to authenticate with at the proxy server. no;; Optional. Comma-separated list of host names that should bypass the proxy. paths:: Assigns symbolic names to repositories. The left side is the symbolic name, and the right gives the directory or URL that is the location of the repository. tags:: Tags that are local to a repository and not distributed or version controlled. The left side is the tag name, and the right is the ID of the changeset to identify. ui:: User interface controls. debug;; Print debugging information. True or False. Default is False. editor;; The editor to use during a commit. Default is $EDITOR or "vi". interactive;; Allow to prompt the user. True or False. Default is True. merge;; The conflict resolution program to use during a manual merge. Default is "hgmerge". quiet;; Reduce the amount of output printed. True or False. Default is False. username;; The committer of a changeset created when running "commit". Typically a person's name and email address, e.g. "Fred Widget <fred@example.com>". Default is $EMAIL or username@hostname. verbose;; Increase the amount of output printed. True or False. Default is False. AUTHOR ------ Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com>.
