$HOME/.hgrc, .hg/hgrc::
This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in .hg/hgrc
override those in .hgrc.
UI OPTIONS
----------
Various configuration options can be set in .hgrc:
-------------
[ui]
verbose = 0
username = Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>
editor = hgeditor
merge = hgmerge
-------------
NAMED REPOSITORIES
------------------
To give symbolic names to a repository, create a section in .hgrc
or .hg/hgrc containing assignments of names to paths. Example:
-----------------
[paths]
hg = http://selenic.com/hg
tah = http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial-tah/
-----------------
LOCAL TAGS
----------
To create tags that are local to the repository and not distributed or
version-controlled, create an hgrc section like the following:
----------------
[tags]
working = 2dcced388cab3677a8f543c3c47a0ad34ac9d435
tested = 12e0fdbc57a0be78f0e817fd1d170a3615cd35da
----------------
HOOKS
-----
Mercurial supports a set of 'hook', commands that get automatically
executed by various actions such as starting or finishing a commit. To
specify a hook, simply create an hgrc section like the following:
-----------------
[hooks]
precommit = echo "this hook gets executed immediately before a commit"
commit = hg export $NODE | mail -s "new commit $NODE" commit-list
-----------------
NON_TRANSPARENT PROXY SUPPORT
-----------------------------
To access a Mercurial repository through a proxy, create a file
$HOME/.hgrc in the following format:
--------------
[http_proxy]
host=myproxy:8080
user=<username>
passwd=<password>
no=<localhost1>,<localhost2>,<localhost3>,...
--------------
"user" and "passwd" fields are used for authenticating proxies, "no" is a
comma-separated list of local host names to not proxy.
override those in .hgrc. See hgrc(5) for details of the contents
and format of these files.
BUGS
----
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (See Resources below)
when you find them.

HGRC(5)

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 True.
editor;;
The editor to use during a commit. Default is "vi".
merge;;
The conflict resolution program to use during a manual merge.
Default is "hgeditor".
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 username@hostname.
verbose;;
Increase the amount of output printed. True or False. Default is
False.
