======================= TortoiseHg Introduction ======================= .. module:: introduction :synopsis: Introduce TortoiseHg and its various parts TortoiseHg is a set of graphical tools and a shell extension for the `Mercurial <http://www.selenic.com/mercurial>`_ distributed revision control system. On Windows, TortoiseHg consists of a shell extension, which provides overlay icons and context menus in your file explorer, and a command line program named hgtk.exe which can launch the TortoiseHg tools. Binary packages of TortoiseHg for Windows come with Mercurial and a merge tool and are thus completely ready for use "Out of the Box". On Linux, TortoiseHg consists of a command line hgtk script, and a Nautilus extension which provides overlays and context menus in your file explorer. TortoiseHg is primarily written in Python and PyGtk (the Windows shell extension being a noticeable exception). The hgtk script can be used on any platform that supports PyGtk, including Mac OS X. .. vim: noet tw=4
