Mercurial reads configuration data from several files, if they exist. Below we list the most specific file first. On Windows, these configuration files are read: - ``<repo>\.hg\hgrc`` - ``%USERPROFILE%\.hgrc`` - ``%USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini`` - ``%HOME%\.hgrc`` - ``%HOME%\Mercurial.ini`` - ``C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini`` - ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercurial`` - ``<install-dir>\Mercurial.ini`` On Unix, these files are read: - ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` - ``$HOME/.hgrc`` - ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` - ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` - ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` - ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` The configuration files for Mercurial use a simple ini-file format. A configuration file consists of sections, led by a ``[section]`` header and followed by ``name = value`` entries:: [ui] username = Firstname Lastname <firstname.lastname@example.net> verbose = True This above entries will be referred to as ``ui.username`` and ``ui.verbose``, respectively. Please see the hgrc man page for a full description of the possible configuration values: - on Unix-like systems: ``man hgrc`` - online: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html
