Mercurial – Gnome Keyring Integration

I don’t know about you, but I was really bored about inserting my password again and again when pulling hg based projects.

Since I’m using Gnome, I decided to check if it was possible to integrate Mercurial with the Gnome Keyring.

Guess what:

Just download the extension and install it, by adding the following line under [extensions] in your .hgrc file:

hggnome-keyring = [PATH_TO_EXTENSION]/hggnome-keyring.py

When pulling from a hg repo, the system will prompt you for the password just for the first time

Mercurial – Verbose Pull

Are you pulling from a Mercurial repository and it’s taking too long?

Do you want to know which files are being pulled into your local machine?

Did you try hg --verbose pull and it didn’t help?

Then, try the following:

hg --debug -v pull

Cheers.
