Quick guide for using Google Code Repository and Mercurial as the Source Control Tool

1-) Click to this link Code Google and choose Create a New Project Link.

2-) According to directions from Google on the page you read; create your code project and choose Mercurial as your source control tool.

3-) I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I used 'sudo apt-get install tortoisehg' routine to install the hg executable as Mercurial source control client.

4-) hg clone {your_google_code_repository_url}

5-) make the necessary changes in the checkedout directory

6-) hg add {directories or files you desire}

7-) hg commit -u {your_google_account} -m "your commit message"

Remember that commit is a local operation on Mercurial

8-) hg push

In order to sync the changes to your google code repository. When you call this routine you will be asked your google code credentials.

And thats it. Just a very fast tutorial...
