hgrc \- configuration files for Mercurial
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
The Mercurial system uses a set of configuration files to control aspects of its behaviour\&.
.sp
.SH "FILES"
Mercurial reads configuration data from several files, if they exist\&. The names of these files depend on the system on which Mercurial is installed\&. *\&.rc files from a single directory are read in alphabetical order, later ones overriding earlier ones\&. Where multiple paths are given below, settings from later paths override earlier ones\&.
.PP
(Unix) <install\-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc\&.d/*\&.rc, (Unix) <install\-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc
.RS 4
Per\-installation configuration files, searched for in the directory where Mercurial is installed\&. <install\-root> is the parent directory of the hg executable (or symlink) being run\&. For example, if installed in /shared/tools/bin/hg, Mercurial will look in /shared/tools/etc/mercurial/hgrc\&. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory\&.
.RE
.PP
(Unix) /etc/mercurial/hgrc\&.d/*\&.rc, (Unix) /etc/mercurial/hgrc
.RS 4
Per\-system configuration files, for the system on which Mercurial is running\&. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory\&. Options in these files override per\-installation options\&.
.RE
.PP
(Windows) <install\-dir>\eMercurial\&.ini, or else, (Windows) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\eSOFTWARE\eMercurial, or else, (Windows) C:\eMercurial\eMercurial\&.ini
.RS 4
Per\-installation/system configuration files, for the system on which Mercurial is running\&. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory\&. Registry keys contain PATH\-like strings, every part of which must reference a Mercurial\&.ini file or be a directory where *\&.rc files will be read\&.
.RE
.PP
(Unix) $HOME/\&.hgrc, (Windows) %HOME%\eMercurial\&.ini, (Windows) %HOME%\e\&.hgrc, (Windows) %USERPROFILE%\eMercurial\&.ini, (Windows) %USERPROFILE%\e\&.hgrc
.RS 4
Per\-user configuration file(s), for the user running Mercurial\&. On Windows 9x, %HOME% is replaced by %APPDATA%\&. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by this user in any directory\&. Options in thes files override per\-installation and per\-system options\&.
.RE
.PP
(Unix, Windows) <repo>/\&.hg/hgrc
.RS 4
Per\-repository configuration options that only apply in a particular repository\&. This file is not version\-controlled, and will not get transferred during a "clone" operation\&. Options in this file override options in all other configuration files\&. On Unix, most of this file will be ignored if it doesn\'t belong to a trusted user or to a trusted group\&. See the documentation for the trusted section below for more details\&.
.RE
.SH "SYNTAX"
A configuration file consists of sections, led by a "[section]" header and followed by "name: value" entries; "name=value" is also accepted\&.

.RE
Each line contains one entry\&. If the lines that follow are indented, they are treated as continuations of that entry\&.
.sp
Leading whitespace is removed from values\&. Empty lines are skipped\&.
.sp
The optional values can contain format strings which refer to other values in the same section, or values in a special DEFAULT section\&.
.sp
Lines beginning with "#" or ";" are ignored and may be used to provide comments\&.
.sp
.SH "SECTIONS"
This section describes the different sections that may appear in a Mercurial "hgrc" file, the purpose of each section, its possible keys, and their possible values\&.
.PP
decode/encode
.RS 4
Filters for transforming files on checkout/checkin\&. This would typically be used for newline processing or other localization/canonicalization of files\&.
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
Filters consist of a filter pattern followed by a filter command\&.
Filter patterns are globs by default, rooted at the repository
root\&.  For example, to match any file ending in "\&.txt" in the root
directory only, use the pattern "*\&.txt"\&.  To match any file ending
in "\&.c" anywhere in the repository, use the pattern "**\&.c"\&.
.fi
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
The filter command can start with a specifier, either "pipe:" or
"tempfile:"\&.  If no specifier is given, "pipe:" is used by default\&.
.fi
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
A "pipe:" command must accept data on stdin and return the
transformed data on stdout\&.
.fi
.RE

.RE
.sp

# recompress gzip files when writing them to the working dir (we
# can safely omit "pipe:", because it\'s the default)
*\&.gz = gzip
.fi
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
A "tempfile:" command is a template\&.  The string INFILE is replaced
with the name of a temporary file that contains the data to be
filtered by the command\&.  The string OUTFILE is replaced with the
name of an empty temporary file, where the filtered data must be
written by the command\&.
.fi

.RS 4
Optional\&. Method to use to send email messages\&. If value is "smtp" (default), use SMTP (see section "[smtp]" for configuration)\&. Otherwise, use as name of program to run that acts like sendmail (takes "\-f" option for sender, list of recipients on command line, message on stdin)\&. Normally, setting this to "sendmail" or "/usr/sbin/sendmail" is enough to use sendmail to send messages\&.

.PP
prechangegroup
.RS 4
Run before a changegroup is added via push, pull or unbundle\&. Exit status 0 allows the changegroup to proceed\&. Non\-zero status will cause the push, pull or unbundle to fail\&. URL from which changes will come is in $HG_URL\&.
.RE

.RE
.PP
preoutgoing
.RS 4
Run before collecting changes to send from the local repository to another\&. Non\-zero status will cause failure\&. This lets you prevent pull over http or ssh\&. Also prevents against local pull, push (outbound) or bundle commands, but not effective, since you can just copy files instead then\&. Source of operation is in $HG_SOURCE\&. If "serve", operation is happening on behalf of remote ssh or http repository\&. If "push", "pull" or "bundle", operation is happening on behalf of repository on same system\&.
.RE
.PP
pretag
.RS 4
Run before creating a tag\&. Exit status 0 allows the tag to be created\&. Non\-zero status will cause the tag to fail\&. ID of changeset to tag is in $HG_NODE\&. Name of tag is in $HG_TAG\&. Tag is local if $HG_LOCAL=1, in repo if $HG_LOCAL=0\&.

pretxnchangegroup
.RS 4
Run after a changegroup has been added via push, pull or unbundle, but before the transaction has been committed\&. Changegroup is visible to hook program\&. This lets you validate incoming changes before accepting them\&. Passed the ID of the first new changeset in $HG_NODE\&. Exit status 0 allows the transaction to commit\&. Non\-zero status will cause the transaction to be rolled back and the push, pull or unbundle will fail\&. URL that was source of changes is in $HG_URL\&.
.RE
.PP
pretxncommit
.RS 4
Run after a changeset has been created but the transaction not yet committed\&. Changeset is visible to hook program\&. This lets you validate commit message and changes\&.

preupdate
.RS 4
Run before updating the working directory\&. Exit status 0 allows the update to proceed\&. Non\-zero status will prevent the update\&. Changeset ID of first new parent is in $HG_PARENT1\&. If merge, ID of second new parent is in $HG_PARENT2\&.
.RE

tag
.RS 4
Run after a tag is created\&. ID of tagged changeset is in $HG_NODE\&. Name of tag is in $HG_TAG\&. Tag is local if $HG_LOCAL=1, in repo if $HG_LOCAL=0\&.
.RE
.PP
update
.RS 4
Run after updating the working directory\&. Changeset ID of first new parent is in $HG_PARENT1\&. If merge, ID of second new parent is in $HG_PARENT2\&. If update succeeded, $HG_ERROR=0\&. If update failed (e\&.g\&. because conflicts not resolved), $HG_ERROR=1\&.

Note: it is generally better to use standard hooks rather than the
generic pre\- and post\- command hooks as they are guaranteed to be
