{Making changes} I've added a new file: what do I do with it? When you add a new file in the working folder, you normally want to ensure that Mercurial keeps track of changes to that file -- and that the file is included in all copies of the repository. To do this, you need to tell Mercurial to _track_ the file by adding it to version control. EasyMercurial shows files that have been created but not added in the *"Untracked"* file list under "My work". (If your file is not listed there, try clicking the Refresh button.) *1. Find the file you want to add in the Untracked list and select it* *2. Click Add in the toolbar on the left of the window* The file will be moved to the *"Added"* list. This tells Mercurial to track the file. The next time you commit, the contents of your new file will be recorded as part of that change set. * Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is *hg add* Of course, you don't always want to track every file in your working copy. Object files generated by a compiler, output files from tests, etc should often not be included in version control. You can ensure that such files don't show up in the Untracked list by right-clicking on them and choosing *"Ignore..."*.
