'Easy' short guide to mercurial

Beginners: STOP here. This is not for you. You will be using Tortoise, a visual graphical interface to mercurial. Go back to safety now.

Experts: do this in a terminal window on the Expo laptop. This uses the command line, not a graphical user interface.

Before you start

cd ~loser
hg diff
If any changes are displayed, commit them (you will need to find out what they are by looking at the files listed):
    hg commit -m "surveys in Pooh Passage which John did" -u "YourName"
hg fetch
If there are any errors then STOP, and get someone to fix it.

Make your changes, then:

If you have added new files:
    hg add file1 file2 file3
hg commit -m "surveys of 200m pitch in Far End" -u "YourName"
hg fetch
If there are any errors then STOP, and get someone to fix it.
hg push
