How do I merge mercurial branches?

To merge two branches, you pull their heads into the same repository, update to one of them and merge the other, and then commit the result once you’re happy with the merge.

How do you combine two mercurial heads?

To start a merge between the two heads, we use the hg merge command. We resolve the contents of hello. c This updates the working directory so that it contains changes from both heads, which is reflected in both the output of hg parents and the contents of hello.

Are there branches in mercurial?

Mercurial supports giving names to branches, by using the branch name property of the changeset (see NamedBranches). If no branch name was set, Mercurial assigns the branch name “default”. So the name of the default branch in a repository is “default” (which, for example, is not displayed when doing a hg log).

What does HG update do?

Update sets the working directory’s parent revision to the specified changeset (see hg help parents). If the changeset is not a descendant or ancestor of the working directory’s parent and there are uncommitted changes, the update is aborted.

How do I abort merge Mercurial?

You have two options on how to proceed:

1. If you want to abort the merge and get back to where you started, then do. hg update -C .
2. If you want to re-merge some files then do hg resolve fileA fileB. This will re-launch the merge tools just as when you did hg merge .

How do I push a branch to bitbucket?

From the CLI, within your local repository directory

1. Create a branch using the Git branch command. git branch.
2. List the branches for this repository. You’ll see the default branch master, and the new branch you created.
3. Check out the branch. git checkout.
4. Push the new branch to Bitbucket. git push –set-upstream origin.

What is hg command?

The hg command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system.

What is hg pull?

Description. Pull changes from a remote repository to a local one. This finds all changes from the repository at the specified path or URL and adds them to a local repository (the current one unless -R is specified).

What does mercurial try to find by default?

By default, Mercurial tries to find one of several different merging tools that are likely to be installed on your system. It first tries a few fully automatic merging tools; if these don’t succeed (because the resolution process requires human guidance) or aren’t present, it tries a few different graphical merging tools.

Why use mercurial for your next project?

Cynthia frequently works on several different tasks for a single project at once, each safely isolated in its own repository. Working this way means that she often needs to merge one piece of her own work with another. Because we need to merge often, Mercurial makes the process easy.

How do I get mercurial to run a specific program?

It’s also possible to get Mercurial to run a specific program or script, by setting the HGMERGE environment variable to the name of your preferred program. My preferred graphical merge tool is kdiff3, which I’ll use to describe the features that are common to graphical file merging tools.

What does Hg update -C do in mercurial?

Mercurial is telling us that the hg update command keeps us on the same head (no files have been changed). It informs us of the other head, but it won’t do the merge itself, unless we force it do so. (Incidentally, forcing an update to the other head with hg update -C would revert any uncommitted changes in the working directory.)
