I’ve started using Mercurial for my personal projects and I’m currently going through Joel’s tutorial here: http://hginit.com/02.html
The problem is when I type in hg serve in the terminal, it simply hangs. Other commands like hg init works perfectly. Anyone know what’s going on?
I installed mercurial by doing this: sudo apt-get install mercurial meld
You want to use the -d option to run it in the background:
Otherwise it will just run as a foreground process, logging to stdout and stderr.
Run
hg help serveto see more options.
