Adding Files to a Local Mercurial Repository

IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.0 Web Help

After a Mercurial repository for a project is initialized, you need to add the project data to it.

Tip

If you have specified Mercurial as the version control system for your project in the Settings dialog box, tab Version Control, IntelliJ IDEA suggests to put each new file under Mercurial control during the file creation.
To have Mercurial ignore some types of files, configure files to ignore.
You can add all unversioned files to Mercurial control or select files to add.

To add all currently unversioned files to mercurial control

Switch to the Changes tool window.
Navigate to the Unversioned Files node and choose Add to VCS from the context menu.

To add specific file(s) to a local mercurial repository, do one of the following:

Switch to the Changes tool window, expand the Unversioned Files node, and select the files to be added. From the context menu, choose Add to VCS.
Switch to the Project tool window and select the files to be added. From the context menu, choose Mercurial | Add to VCS or press NothingNothingNothingNothingNothingNothingNothingNothingNothingNothingNothingNothing.
