Join Michael Lehman for an in-depth discussion in this video Installation and setup, part of Learning Software Version Control.
Let's do some source code control with Mercurial.…Mercurial is a distributed control system similar to Git, which means that the repository is hosted on your box.…You can also host repositories on another developer's box and they host the same complete repository,…and you exchange information either with pull and push or with import and export.…And then you can also have server-based connections to Mercurial repositories which allow you…to use pull and push to repositories in the cloud for shared repository use.…
It's free, and there are also commercial hosting options.…You can get the free version, as it says, here on the screen, at mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Mercurial,…and there's also commercial hosting from a company called atlassian.…We're going to install a local version of Mercurial which is abbreviated Hg, as in the…elemental symbol for Mercury.…Because Mercurial is such a tongue twister, I'm going to call it Hg throughout the remainder…of movies in this chapter.…The link for the installation binary is in the Links.rtf file in the Exercise Files directory.…
