I have the hgeclipse plugin installed and I have a url source to go and clone from for a project that I need to begin work on. The authentication is based on ssh and my ssh key. I understand from basic googling that I need to set up a .hgr file with the path to the private. Can some one give me more pointers
Actually, you can include the path to the key in your Mercurial.ini/.hrgc file. You don’t need Pageant or ssh-agent, unless you need to log in to multiple servers. If you’re only ever logging in to one server, you can make your Mercurial.ini or .hgrc file have the following content:
This code is Windows-specific but basically, you just specify the path to the ssh program, use the -i flag and specify the path to the private key. That formula should work on all operating systems. If you’re on Windows, you put that stuff in a file called “Mercurial.ini” and if you’re on any other platform, it goes in a file called .hgrc
Hope this helps!
