Installation of ( and cloning of code using ) Mercurial and TortoiseHG on Ubuntu 11.10

Mercurial is a version control system and TortoiseHG is a tool to manage that. :) So, here are its installation steps in Ubuntu 11.10

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mercurial-ppa/releases
• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tortoisehg-ppa/releases
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install mercurial
• sudo apt-get install tortoisehg*

To copy or clone your bitbucket repo, type the following in the command line.




hg clone https://bitbucket.org/(user_name)/(project_name)/ (folder_name)


folder_name is the place where you want the code to be saved :) Give in the required permissions and it'll be saved !!
