Sumamry

Documents some common tasks of TortoiseHg for source control.

Clone Repository and Sub-repository

Install Tortoise Hg. This is a Mercurial Source Control UI Tool. The installation includes Hg Mercurial.
Go to the folder where you’ll place the new projects using the file explorer.
In the explorer window, right click the mouse button and in the context menu, select [TortoiseHg] -> [Clone]. The “Clone” dialog box appears.
In the “Clone” dialog box, copy and paste the source project address into the “Source” edit box. Prefix your account name so the address looks like this: https://repository_url/
Click button [Clone].
If successful, this should create a repository folder on your local machine and all contents are copied from the server.
To add a sub-repository, clone the sub-repository into the main repository folder. Then create a file “.hgsub” in the main repository folder. The file should contain one line for each sub-repository, for example, SubRepoName = https://sub-repos_url

Push to Source Control Server

Add contents to your cloned folder. Add your project contents: class libraries, application, files etc. Or simply copy existiong contents to the repository folder.
To push the new files to the server, go to the local root folder of the repository and follow the instructions in the following diagram.
In the commit window, tick files you want to copy to the server. Do not tick files like .obj, .dll ect. Thee click [Commit] button
The above 2 steps add the files to the repository, but not pushed to the server. To push the files to the server, open Tortoise Hg Workbench. Click [File] -> [Open repository] -> Select repo folder -> click .
Now check on the server to see if the files are there.

Merge Changes from Source Control Server

Start HG Workbench, click the repository to merge
Select [Pull incoming changes from selected URL]
If you have any local changes, select [Merge]
Select [Update]
