Frequently Asked Questions

• When I commit with Mercurial(hg), my username is root… How can I change it?

You have to set your user information in the local configuration of Mercurial. Edit the file '~/.hgrc' and add the following line:

[ui]
#  The committer of a changeset created when running "commit".
#  Typically a person name and email address.
#  Default is $EMAIL or username@hostname.
username = Fred Widget <fred@example.com>

#  The editor to use during a commit. Default is $EDITOR or "vi".
#  If you want to use emacs for example set it:
editor = emacs

#  Want more?
#  $ man 5 hgrc
