Settings dialog
The Settings dialog is used to configure both TortoiseHg and the
underlying Mercurial DVCS. Since TortoiseHg uses Mercurial's underlying
configuration system to store and retrieve its settings, these are
essentially the same thing.
Mercurial on Windows has a three-tier configuration system.
1) A site-wide configuration file in
:file:`C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseHg\\Mercurial.ini`
This file is read first and thus has the lowest priority.
2) A per-user configuration file in
:file:`C:\\Documents and Settings\\username\\Mercurial.ini`
This file is read second and thus can override settings in the
site-wide configuration file.
3) A per-repository configuration file in :file:`repo-root\\.hg\\hgrc` This
file is read last and can override site-wide and user global settings.
The site-wide file can be overwritten on upgrades so it is recommended
that you do not make changes to this file. Instead, you should make
changes to your user :file:`Mercurial.ini` and/or the repository
:file:`hgrc` file. The TortoiseHg Settings dialog enforces this
suggestion by only operating in two modes:
Global
edits your user :file:`Mercurial.ini` file
Repository
edits a repository :file:`.hg/hgrc` file
In TortoiseHg 0.8, you may toggle between the two modes using the combo
box at the top of the dialog.
Most TortoiseHg users will want to store all configurables in their
global user settings, and only use the repository hgrc to store paths
(remote repository aliases) and web settings, though it is possible to
override many configurables per-repository (a common example is to
configure a different username for use in a repository). Also note that
the user and repository configuration files may not exist until you run
the Settings dialog for the first time.
Tabs
====
The Settings tool is a tabbed application.
Each tab corresponds roughly to a section of your :file:`Mercurial.ini`
file, though there is a certain amount of overlap. Some sections were
split across multiple tabs for clarity.
Every tab but :guilabel:`Sync` has the same format, a list of
configurable options with a drop-down combo box with possible values and
a history of options you have used for that setting. The configurable
name (label) has a tooltip which describes in more detail what you are
configuring and its default value. The description of the currently
focused configurable is also shown in a text box at the bottom of the
dialog.
Please consult the Mercurial wiki for more detailed information about
these configurables (except for the first three tabs:
:guilabel:`TortoiseHg`, :guilabel:`Commit`, :guilabel:`Changelog`, which
are specifically for TortoiseHg).
.. module:: TortoiseHg.settings
:synopsis: Dialog used to set general TortoiseHg preferences
TortoiseHg
----------
:guilabel:`3-way Merge Tool:`
Graphical merge program for resolving merge conflicts. If left
unspecified, Mercurial will use the first applicable tool it finds
on your system or use its internal merge tool that leaves conflict
markers in place. Chose :guilabel:`internal:merge` to force conflict markers,
:guilabel:`internal:prompt` to always select local or other, or :guilabel:`internal:dump`
to leave files in the working directory for manual merging.
:guilabel:`Visual Diff Command:`
Specify visual diff tool; must be an extdiff command.
:guilabel:`Skip Diff Window:`
Bypass the builtin visual diff dialog and directly use your
visual diff tool's directory diff feature. Only enable this
feature if you know your diff tool has a valid extdiff
configuration. Default: False.
:guilabel:`Visual Editor:`
Specify the visual editor used to view files, etc.
:guilabel:`CLI Editor:`
The editor to use during a commit and other
instances where Mercurial needs multiline input from
the user. Only used by command line interface commands.
:guilabel:`Tab Width:`
Specify the number of spaces that tabs expand to in various
TortoiseHg windows. Default: Not expanded.
:guilabel:`Max Diff Size:`
The maximum size file (in KB) that TortoiseHg will
show changes for in the changelog, status, and commit windows.
A value of zero implies no limit. Default: 1024 (1MB).
:guilabel:`Bottom Diffs:`
Show the diff panel below the file list in status, shelve, and
commit dialogs.
Default: False (show diffs to right of file list).
.. module:: commit.settings
:synopsis: Dialog used to set commit specific preferences
Commit
------
:guilabel:`Username:`
Name associated with commits.
:guilabel:`External Commit Tool:`
Select commit tool launched by TortoiseHg. (Qct is no longer
distributed as part of TortoiseHg).
Default: None (use the builtin tool). [DEPRECATED]
:guilabel:`Summary Line Length:`
Maximum length of the commit message summary line.
If set, TortoiseHg will issue a warning if the
summary line is too long or not separated by a
blank line. Default: 0 (unenforced).
:guilabel:`Message Line Length:`
Word wrap length of the commit message. If
set, the popup menu can be used to format
the message and a warning will be issued
if any lines are too long at commit.
Default: 0 (unenforced).
.. module:: changelog.settings
:synopsis: Dialog used to set changelog specific preferences
Changelog
---------
:guilabel:`Author Coloring:`
Color changesets by author name. If not enabled,
the changes are colored green for merge, red for
non-trivial parents, black for normal.
Default: False.
:guilabel:`Long Summary:`
If true, concatenate multiple lines of changeset summary
until they reach 80 characters.
Default: False.
:guilabel:`Log Batch Size:`
The number of revisions to read and display in the
changelog viewer in a single batch.
Default: 500.
:guilabel:`Copy Hash:`
Allow the changelog viewer to copy the changeset hash
of the currently selected changeset into the clipboard.
Default: False.
.. module:: synchronize.settings
:synopsis: Dialog used to set synchronize specific preferences
Sync
----
The :guilabel:`Sync` tab is where you can store URLs (paths) to related
repositories. It is rare to store paths in the site-wide or user
configuration files, most of the time you will only store these in a
repository configuration file. Mercurial has two special path names that
can be used as default targets for some operations.
* *default* - the default URL to pull from, usually clone source
* *default-push* - the default push target when using the command line
:guilabel:`After pull operation:`
Operation which is performed directly after a successful pull.
:guilabel:`update` equates to :command:`pull --update`, :guilabel:`fetch`
equates to the fetch extension, :guilabel:`rebase` equates to
:command:`pull --rebase`. Default: none.
:guilabel:`Remote repository paths`
In this pane you can configure aliases for repositories that you
frequently synchronize with. Mercurial will add a *default* alias
to the clone source automatically. All configured path aliases will
be listed in the Synchronize tool path drop-down box, and they can
be used as short-cuts on the command line.

Port to listen on.
:guilabel:`Push Requires SSL:`
Whether to require that inbound pushes be transported
over SSL to prevent password sniffing.
:guilabel:`Stripes:`

Default is 1; set to 0 to disable.
:guilabel:`Max Files:`
Maximum number of files to list per changeset.
:guilabel:`Max Changes:`
Maximum number of changes to list on the changelog.
:guilabel:`Allow Push:`
Whether to allow pushing to the repository. If empty or not
set, push is not allowed. If the special value "*", any remote
user can push, including unauthenticated users. Otherwise, the
remote user must have been authenticated, and the authenticated
user name must be present in this list (separated by whitespace
or ","). The contents of the allow_push list are examined after
the deny_push list.
:guilabel:`Deny Push:`
Whether to deny pushing to the repository. If empty or not set,
push is not denied. If the special value "*", all remote users
are denied push. Otherwise, unauthenticated users are all
denied, and any authenticated user name present in this list
(separated by whitespace or ",") is also denied. The contents
of the deny_push list are examined before the allow_push list.
:guilabel:`Encoding:`
Character encoding name.

From command line
=================
The setting dialog can be started from command line ::
hgtk repoconfig
for the repository settings (:file:`.hg/hgrc` file) or ::
hgtk userconfig
for the user configuration (:file:`Mercurial.ini` file).
The syntax is simple, no options or parameters are needed, except the global
options.
