I am a long time user of Visual Source Safe, TFS or SVN at different times of my career. I want to switch over to Mercurial & TortoideHG.
I have downloaded TortoiseHG version 2.5 from
this page.
To start with I want to transfer a .net solution and the entire structure (folders/files etc) for that solution into the Mercurial Source Code control using TortoiseHG.
Questions
-
Can any one tell me in simple terms how to transfer the .net solution to source code control?
-
Do I use the Shell extension command to create a repository or the Tortoise Workbench?
I want to start using and learning the bare basics as I have mostly been using plugins from within Visual Studio.
You can do what you need from the UI.
Start out from Mercurial Webpage.
Also good resources on getting started: Re-educate yourself on version control.
