AppCode 2018.1 Help

Using Mercurial Integration

With the Mercurial integration enabled, you can perform basic Mercurial operations from inside AppCode.

In this section:

Prerequisites

  • Mercurial is installed on your computer.

  • The location of the Mercurial executable file hg.exe is correctly specified on the Mercurial page of the Settings/Preferences dialog box.
  • Mercurial integration is enabled for the current project root or directory.

If you want to use a remote repository, create a Mercurial hosting account first. You can access the remote repository through a pair of ssh keys or apply the username/password and keyboard interactive authentication methods supported by the Mercurial integration.

Mercurial support

  • When Mercurial integration with AppCode is enabled, the Mercurial item appears on the VCS menu, and on the context menus of the Editor and the Project Tool Window.

  • The files in the folders under the Mercurial control are highlighted according to their status. See File Status Highlights for file status highlighting conventions.

  • Modifications results are shown in the Version Control tool window.

  • When using Mercurial integration, it is helpful to open the Version Control tool window. The Console tab displays the following data:
    • All commands generated based on the settings you specify through the AppCode user interface.

    • Information messages concerning the results of executing generated Mercurial commands.

    • Error messages.
