Mercurial: Placing Projects Under Version Control
See Also
The IDE enables you to place any project you are working on under version
control. You effectively import your sources into a local Mercurial
repository. The repository files are placed under a .hg directory under the project directory.
To place an IDE project under version control:
- In the Projects window, select an unversioned project and choose either:
- Versioning > Initialize Mercurial Repository from the node's
right-click menu.
- Team > Mercurial > Initialize Repository from the
IDE's main menu.
- Putting the project under Mercurial revision control...
The IDE initiates the Mercurial initialize action and the IDE's status bar indicates the progress
of the repository creation under your local working directory. You can also view files being added to the
repository from the Output window (Ctrl-4).
- All the project files are now registered in the repository as Locally New.
- The new files and their status can be viewed by clicking on Mercurial > Status from the right-click menu. The
Status Window opens to display versioning information on the selected item(s).
- Make sure to Commit these project files to the repository.
