<p>The Mercurial system uses a set of configuration files to control
aspects of its behavior.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="files">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">Files</a></h1>
<p>Mercurial reads configuration data from several files, if they exist.
The names of these files depend on the system on which Mercurial is
installed. <tt class="docutils literal">*.rc</tt> files from a single directory are read in
alphabetical order, later ones overriding earlier ones. Where multiple
paths are given below, settings from earlier paths override later
ones.</p>

pywin32 extensions are not installed, Mercurial will only look for
site-wide configuration in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini</span></tt>.</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="section" id="syntax">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">Syntax</a></h1>
<p>A configuration file consists of sections, led by a <tt class="docutils literal">[section]</tt> header
and followed by <tt class="docutils literal">name = value</tt> entries:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
[spam]
eggs=ham
green=
   eggs
</pre>
<p>Each line contains one entry. If the lines that follow are indented,
they are treated as continuations of that entry. Leading whitespace is
removed from values. Empty lines are skipped. Lines beginning with
<tt class="docutils literal">#</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">;</tt> are ignored and may be used to provide comments.</p>
<p>A line of the form <tt class="docutils literal">%include file</tt> will include <tt class="docutils literal">file</tt> into the
current configuration file. The inclusion is recursive, which means
that included files can include other files. Filenames are relative to
the configuration file in which the <tt class="docutils literal">%include</tt> directive is found.</p>
<p>A line with <tt class="docutils literal">%unset name</tt> will remove <tt class="docutils literal">name</tt> from the current
section, if it has been set previously.</p>
<p>The values are either free-form text strings, lists of text strings,
or Boolean values. Lists are split on whitespace and commas. Boolean
values can be set to true using any of &quot;1&quot;, &quot;yes&quot;, &quot;true&quot;, or &quot;on&quot; and
to false using &quot;0&quot;, &quot;no&quot;, &quot;false&quot;, or &quot;off&quot; (all case insensitive).</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="sections">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">Sections</a></h1>
<p>This section describes the different sections that may appear in a
Mercurial &quot;hgrc&quot; file, the purpose of each section, its possible keys,
and their possible values.</p>
<div class="section" id="alias">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents"><tt class="docutils literal">alias</tt></a></h2>
<p>Defines command aliases.
Aliases allow you to define your own commands in terms of other
commands (or aliases), optionally including arguments.</p>
<p>Alias definitions consist of lines of the form:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
&lt;alias&gt; = &lt;command&gt; [&lt;argument]...
</pre>
<p>For example, this definition:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
latest = log --limit 5
</pre>
<p>creates a new command <tt class="docutils literal">latest</tt> that shows only the five most recent
changesets. You can define subsequent aliases using earlier ones:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
stable5 = latest -b stable
</pre>
<div class="note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">It is possible to create aliases with the same names as
existing commands, which will then override the original
definitions. This is almost always a bad idea!</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="auth">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents"><tt class="docutils literal">auth</tt></a></h2>
<p>Authentication credentials for HTTP authentication. Each line has
the following format:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
&lt;name&gt;.&lt;argument&gt; = &lt;value&gt;
</pre>
<p>where <tt class="docutils literal">&lt;name&gt;</tt> is used to group arguments into authentication
entries. Example:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
foo.prefix = hg.intevation.org/mercurial
foo.username = foo
foo.password = bar
foo.schemes = http https

bar.prefix = secure.example.org
bar.key = path/to/file.key
bar.cert = path/to/file.cert
bar.schemes = https
</pre>
<p>Supported arguments:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">prefix</tt></dt>
<dd>Either <tt class="docutils literal">*</tt> or a URI prefix with or without the scheme part.
The authentication entry with the longest matching prefix is used
(where <tt class="docutils literal">*</tt> matches everything and counts as a match of length
1). If the prefix doesn't include a scheme, the match is performed
against the URI with its scheme stripped as well, and the schemes
argument, q.v., is then subsequently consulted.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">username</tt></dt>
<dd>Optional. Username to authenticate with. If not given, and the
remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user
will be prompted for it.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">password</tt></dt>
<dd>Optional. Password to authenticate with. If not given, and the
remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user
will be prompted for it.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">key</tt></dt>
<dd>Optional. PEM encoded client certificate key file.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">cert</tt></dt>
<dd>Optional. PEM encoded client certificate chain file.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">schemes</tt></dt>
<dd>Optional. Space separated list of URI schemes to use this
authentication entry with. Only used if the prefix doesn't include
a scheme. Supported schemes are http and https. They will match
static-http and static-https respectively, as well.
Default: https.</dd>
</dl>
<p>If no suitable authentication entry is found, the user is prompted
for credentials as usual if required by the remote.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="decode-encode">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents"><tt class="docutils literal">decode/encode</tt></a></h2>
<p>Filters for transforming files on checkout/checkin. This would
typically be used for newline processing or other
localization/canonicalization of files.</p>
<p>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 <tt class="docutils literal">.txt</tt> in the root
directory only, use the pattern <tt class="docutils literal">*.txt</tt>. To match any file ending
in <tt class="docutils literal">.c</tt> anywhere in the repository, use the pattern <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">**.c</span></tt>.
For each file only the first matching filter applies.</p>
<p>The filter command can start with a specifier, either <tt class="docutils literal">pipe:</tt> or
<tt class="docutils literal">tempfile:</tt>. If no specifier is given, <tt class="docutils literal">pipe:</tt> is used by default.</p>
<p>A <tt class="docutils literal">pipe:</tt> command must accept data on stdin and return the transformed
data on stdout.</p>
<p>Pipe example:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
[encode]
# uncompress gzip files on checkin to improve delta compression
# note: not necessarily a good idea, just an example
*.gz = pipe: gunzip

[decode]
# recompress gzip files when writing them to the working dir (we
# can safely omit &quot;pipe:&quot;, because it's the default)
*.gz = gzip
</pre>
<p>A <tt class="docutils literal">tempfile:</tt> command is a template. The string <tt class="docutils literal">INFILE</tt> is replaced
with the name of a temporary file that contains the data to be
filtered by the command. The string <tt class="docutils literal">OUTFILE</tt> is replaced with the name
of an empty temporary file, where the filtered data must be written by
the command.</p>
<div class="note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">The tempfile mechanism is recommended for Windows systems,
where the standard shell I/O redirection operators often have
strange effects and may corrupt the contents of your files.</p>
</div>
<p>The most common usage is for LF &lt;-&gt; CRLF translation on Windows. For
this, use the &quot;smart&quot; converters which check for binary files:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
[extensions]
hgext.win32text =
[encode]
** = cleverencode:
[decode]
** = cleverdecode:
</pre>
<p>or if you only want to translate certain files:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
[extensions]
hgext.win32text =
[encode]
**.txt = dumbencode:
[decode]
**.txt = dumbdecode:
</pre>
</div>
<div class="section" id="defaults">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents"><tt class="docutils literal">defaults</tt></a></h2>
<p>(defaults are deprecated. Don't use them. Use aliases instead)</p>
<p>Use the <tt class="docutils literal">[defaults]</tt> section to define command defaults, i.e. the
default options/arguments to pass to the specified commands.</p>
<p>The following example makes <tt class="docutils literal">hg log</tt> run in verbose mode, and <tt class="docutils literal">hg
status</tt> show only the modified files, by default:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
[defaults]
log = -v
status = -m
</pre>
<p>The actual commands, instead of their aliases, must be used when
defining command defaults. The command defaults will also be applied
to the aliases of the commands defined.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="diff">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents"><tt class="docutils literal">diff</tt></a></h2>
<p>Settings used when displaying diffs. They are all Boolean and

<div class="section" id="email">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents"><tt class="docutils literal">email</tt></a></h2>
<p>Settings for extensions that send email messages.</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">from</tt></dt>
<dd>Optional. Email address to use in &quot;From&quot; header and SMTP envelope

<dt><tt class="docutils literal">to</tt></dt>
<dd>Optional. Comma-separated list of recipients' email addresses.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">cc</tt></dt>

<div class="section" id="extensions">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents"><tt class="docutils literal">extensions</tt></a></h2>
<p>Mercurial has an extension mechanism for adding new features. To
enable an extension, create an entry for it in this section.</p>
<p>If you know that the extension is already in Python's search path,
you can give the name of the module, followed by <tt class="docutils literal">=</tt>, with nothing
after the <tt class="docutils literal">=</tt>.</p>
<p>Otherwise, give a name that you choose, followed by <tt class="docutils literal">=</tt>, followed by
the path to the <tt class="docutils literal">.py</tt> file (including the file name extension) that
defines the extension.</p>
<p>To explicitly disable an extension that is enabled in an hgrc of
broader scope, prepend its path with <tt class="docutils literal">!</tt>, as in
<tt class="docutils literal">hgext.foo = !/ext/path</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">hgext.foo = !</tt>  when path is not

hooks can be run for the same action by appending a suffix to the
action. Overriding a site-wide hook can be done by changing its
value or setting it to an empty string.</p>

<p class="last">It is generally better to use standard hooks rather than the
generic pre- and post- command hooks as they are guaranteed to be
called in the appropriate contexts for influencing transactions.
Also, hooks like &quot;commit&quot; will be called in all contexts that
generate a commit (e.g. tag) and not just the commit command.</p>

<p>The syntax for Python hooks is as follows:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
hookname = python:modulename.submodule.callable
hookname = python:/path/to/python/module.py:callable
</pre>
<p>Python hooks are run within the Mercurial process. Each hook is
called with at least three keyword arguments: a ui object (keyword
<tt class="docutils literal">ui</tt>), a repository object (keyword <tt class="docutils literal">repo</tt>), and a <tt class="docutils literal">hooktype</tt>
keyword that tells what kind of hook is used. Arguments listed as
environment variables above are passed as keyword arguments, with no
<tt class="docutils literal">HG_</tt> prefix, and names in lower case.</p>

<dd>Whether to deny reading/viewing of the repository. If this list is
not empty, unauthenticated users are all denied, and any
authenticated user name present in this list (separated by
whitespace or <tt class="docutils literal">,</tt>) is also denied access to the repository. If set
to the special value <tt class="docutils literal">*</tt>, all remote users are denied access
(rarely needed ;). If deny_read is empty or not set, the
determination of repository access depends on the presence and
content of the allow_read list (see description). If both
deny_read and allow_read are empty or not set, then access is
permitted to all users by default. If the repository is being
served via hgwebdir, denied users will not be able to see it in
the list of repositories. The contents of the deny_read list have
priority over (are examined before) the contents of the allow_read
list.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">descend</tt></dt>
<dd>hgwebdir indexes will not descend into subdirectories. Only repositories
directly in the current path will be shown (other repositories are still
available from the index corresponding to their containing path).</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">description</tt></dt>
<dd>Textual description of the repository's purpose or contents.
Default is &quot;unknown&quot;.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">encoding</tt></dt>
<dd>Character encoding name.

<dt><tt class="docutils literal">errorlog</tt></dt>
<dd>Where to output the error log. Default is stderr.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">hidden</tt></dt>
<dd>Whether to hide the repository in the hgwebdir index.
Default is False.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">ipv6</tt></dt>
<dd>Whether to use IPv6. Default is False.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">name</tt></dt>
<dd>Repository name to use in the web interface. Default is current
working directory.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">maxchanges</tt></dt>
<dd>Maximum number of changes to list on the changelog. Default is 10.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">maxfiles</tt></dt>
<dd>Maximum number of files to list per changeset. Default is 10.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">port</tt></dt>
<dd>Port to listen on. Default is 8000.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">prefix</tt></dt>
<dd>Prefix path to serve from. Default is '' (server root).</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">push_ssl</tt></dt>
<dd>Whether to require that inbound pushes be transported over SSL to
prevent password sniffing. Default is True.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">staticurl</tt></dt>
<dd>Base URL to use for static files. If unset, static files (e.g. the
hgicon.png favicon) will be served by the CGI script itself. Use
this setting to serve them directly with the HTTP server.
Example: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">http://hgserver/static/</span></tt>.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">stripes</tt></dt>
<dd>How many lines a &quot;zebra stripe&quot; should span in multiline output.
