I’m a little new to using Mercurial but so far I really like it. Recently though I’ve noticed I’ve managed to create a branch somehow, but I’m not sure how it’s happened. Now when I do:
hg branches
I get:
default 167:e1ca9e2a5efc
With the second one appearing to update at each commit. What could have happened here, and can I get rid of it?
Thanks!
You have not created a branch, that’s the default branch of your repository, and the second part is just a reference to the entry of your repository corresponding to that branch, as it’s the default one, it’s updated to the last commit always.
With
hg branchyou can see the current branch name, if you try, you will see that you are working on the default branch. You can usehg branch BRANCH_NAMEto change to branch BRANC_NAME.
