Chris@495 | 1 {Opening and initialising things} |
Chris@495 | 2 |
Chris@499 | 3 I have a folder of source code or documents on my computer and I want to use version control to manage them |
Chris@495 | 4 |
Chris@495 | 5 To start using version control for a project folder, you need to |
Chris@496 | 6 initialise a repository there. EasyMercurial does this for you when |
Chris@496 | 7 you open the folder. |
Chris@495 | 8 |
Chris@495 | 9 *1. Click the Open toolbar button or use File -> Open* |
Chris@495 | 10 |
Chris@495 | 11 #openfolder50 |
Chris@495 | 12 |
Chris@495 | 13 *2. Select "File folder" as the thing you want to open* |
Chris@495 | 14 |
Chris@495 | 15 *3. Browse to your folder* |
Chris@495 | 16 |
Chris@495 | 17 *4. Click OK* |
Chris@495 | 18 |
Chris@495 | 19 A new repository will be created, stowed into the working folder you |
Chris@495 | 20 selected. At first, it will have an empty history. You can then |
Chris@495 | 21 start to add and commit changes to your files. |
Chris@495 | 22 |
Chris@495 | 23 (You will need to "add" files before you can start to track changes to |
Chris@495 | 24 them. The default is for all files in the folder to be treated as |
Chris@495 | 25 "untracked", i.e. not included in the history.) |
Chris@495 | 26 |
Chris@495 | 27 * Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is *hg init* |
