Chris@498 1 {Sharing changes}
Chris@498 2
Chris@499 3 I want to put my changes into a master repository shared with my colleagues
Chris@498 4
Chris@499 5 Setting up such a repository with a properly configured remote server
Chris@499 6 is out of the scope of this Help, but you generally want one of the
Chris@499 7 following:
Chris@499 8
Chris@499 9 *A server that everyone on your team has secure ssh access to*, _or_
Chris@499 10
Chris@499 11 *An account with a managed online Mercurial hosting service*
Chris@499 12
Chris@499 13 With either of the above, you should be able to create a new
Chris@499 14 repository on the server and obtain a Mercurial URL for it. That may
Chris@499 15 be a _ssh://host/path_ URL in the former case, or the URL (often an
Chris@499 16 _https_ one) provided by the service in the latter case.
Chris@499 17
Chris@499 18 In EasyMercurial, you then:
Chris@499 19
Chris@499 20 *1. Go to Remote -> Set Remote Location.., enter the URL of the remote repository and click OK.*
Chris@499 21
Chris@499 22 * This tells EasyMercurial to use that URL as the default location for subsequent push and pull operations.
Chris@499 23
Chris@499 24 *2. Click Push on the main toolbar at the top of the EasyMercurial window.*
Chris@499 25
Chris@499 26 This will push all of the changes that you have made in your local
Chris@499 27 repository (since you pushed to the same target, if you ever have).
Chris@499 28 You should do this regularly whenever you have a coherent set of
Chris@499 29 changes for others to use or test. Your colleagues can then pull from
Chris@499 30 the same remote repository URL to obtain your changes.
Chris@499 31
Chris@499 32 For this to work, the target repository must be _related_ to the local
Chris@499 33 one. That means either a repository that has been pulled to, or
Chris@499 34 pushed to from, the local repository before; or the repository that
Chris@499 35 was initially used to clone the local one from; or else an empty
Chris@499 36 repository.
