2 EasyMercurial | |
3 ============= | |
4 | |
5 EasyMercurial is a user interface for the Mercurial distributed | |
6 version control system. | |
7 | |
8 EasyMercurial is intended to be: | |
9 | |
10 * simple to teach and to learn | |
11 * indicative of repository state using a history graph representation | |
12 * recognisably close to normal command-line workflow for Mercurial | |
13 * consistent across platforms | |
14 | |
15 We are not trying to produce "the best" Mercurial client for any one | |
16 purpose. We actively encourage users to move on to other clients as | |
17 their needs evolve. The aim is simply to provide something accessible | |
18 for beginners in small project groups working with a shared remote | |
19 repository. | |
20 | |
21 The application is developed by Chris Cannam for SoundSoftware.ac.uk, | |
22 based on the HgExplorer application by Jari Korhonen, and is published | |
23 under the GPL. See the file COPYING for license details. | |

26 Building EasyMercurial | |
27 ====================== | |
28 | |
29 EasyMercurial is written in C++ using the Qt5 toolkit. On most | |
30 platforms, you can build it by running "qmake" followed by "make". | |
31 | |
32 | |
33 To run EasyMercurial | |
34 ==================== | |
35 | |
36 Just run the EasyMercurial application that is produced by the build. | |
37 You will also need to have Mercurial installed (version 1.7 or newer). | |
38 If you want to use the EasyHg authentication extension, you will also | |
39 need PyQt5 (the Python bindings for Qt5); you may also wish to install | |
40 the python-crypto library for the password store. Finally, an | |
41 external diff/merge utility is required, typically kdiff3. | |
