#hg++ - power tools for mercurial

Do you keep multiple clones of your repository on your system and find keeping them merged and fresh a chore?

Then this is the tool for you.

Usage

hgpp --help

Show help.

hgpp

Default command - lists the current branch name for each configured repo.

hgpp pull

Does an hg pull on each repo.

hgpp merge

First does an hg pull, and then attempts to merge. The project will be skipped if:

• there are uncommitted changes
• the branch is default (or a differently configured parent branch)
• the branch already has default merged in

Setup

####Install the tool (globally):

npm install hgpp -g

####Make a .hgpp config file in your home directory:

~/.hgpp for unix

c:/users/foobar/.hgpp for Windows

This config file is standard JSON:

{
    "projects": [
        { "path": "C:\\code\\myproj" },
        { "path": "C:\\code\\myproj_clone1" },
        { "defaultBranch": "temporary-other-default", "path": "C:\\code\\myproj_clone2" }
    ],
    "maxConcurrent": 3
}

Specify paths to your projects.

Optionally specify a different default branch - this is useful when you're branching off of a parent branch and want to keep in sync with that parent rather than default. If no value is provided, this defaults to default.

maxConcurrent is optional, and specifies how many simultaneous mercurial actions it will try perform. Defaults to 3.
