======= Preface ======= .. module:: preface :synopsis: About this manual Audience ======== This book is written for computer literate folk who want to use Mercurial to manage their data, but are uncomfortable using the command line client to do so. Since TortoiseHG is a windows shell extension it's assumed that the user is familiar with the windows explorer and knows how to use it. TortoiseHG comes with a simple python application, hgtk, which allows you to launch the TortoiseHg dialogs on any platform that supports Mercurial, and PyGtk. This is the easiest way to start using TortoiseHg on Linux and Mac OS X. Reading guide ============= This Preface explains a little about the TortoiseHG project, the community of people who work on it, and the licensing conditions for using it and distributing it. The :doc:`intro`, explains what TortoiseHG is, what it does, where it comes from and the basics for installing it on your PC. The remaining chapters describe the tools that are part of TortoiseHg.
