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.

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.
|

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.)
