Installing Hg-Git on Windows 7 64bit

Question

I am trying for a while installing Hg-Git addon to my Windows 7 Operating system

1. I have crossed several difficulties like installing Python and other utilities

Answer 1

In case it helps anyone, I have Windows 7 64bit and TortoiseHg and following their instructions was easy and worked without issue.

Installation

TortoiseHg Windows installers come with the python-git bindings (named dulwich) that hg-git requires, so one only needs to clone the hg-git repository to your local computer:

hg clone http://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-git/ C:\hg-git

Then enable hggit and bookmarks in your Mercurial.ini file:

[extensions]

bookmarks =

hggit = C:\hg-git\hggit

You can verify that worked by typing hg help hggit

Answer 2

Ok i got it so ... For others - you need to clone this repo

HTTPS:

git clone https://github.com/jelmer/dulwich.git

SSH:

git clone git@github.com:jelmer/dulwich.git

or just download source - after that you need to go to its folder when you downloaded in command line type:

python setup.py install

You are done after you can simply do:

easy_install hg-git

On windows and make it work - so congratulations :-) Close.

Answer 3

I created a powershell script which does the installation in one step. The prereq is you have some build tools and python already installed: http://ig2600.blogspot.com/2013/02/using-git-via-hg-on-windows.html
