a Mercurial interactive history viewer
Project description
Description
Its purpose is to easily navigate in a Mercurial repository history. It has been written with efficiency in mind, both in terms of computational efficiency and user experience efficiency.
It is written in Python.
- There are two user interfaces:
a graphical interface using PyQt5 and QScintilla, the
a text interface: using urwid, pygments and pyinotify
Note that the Qt5 interface is much more complete than the text interface. The Qt5 interface provides more views on the repository.
hgview intallation notes
hgview can be used either as a hg extension, or as a standalone application.
The Common library depends on: mercurial (1.0 minimum) The Qt5 interface depends on PyQt5, QScintilla and PyQScintilla, DocUtils The Text interfaces depend on urwid (>=0.9.1 for “raw”, >=1.0.0 for “curses”), pygments and pyinotify
Run from the hg repository
You can run hgview without installing it.
hg clone https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/hgview
You may want to add the following to your main .hgrc file:
[extensions] hgext.hgview=path/to/hqgv/hgext/hgview.py [hgview] # your hgview configs statements like: dotradius=6 interface=qt # or curses or raw # type hg qv-config to list available options
Then from any Mercurial repository:
cd <ANY_HG_REPO> hg qv
or:
export PYTHONPATH=PATH_TO_HGVIEW_DIR:$PYTHONPATH PATH_TO_HGVIEW_DIR/bin/hgview
Installing hgview
Installing hgview is simply done using usual distutils script:
cd $PATH_TO_HGVIEW_DIR python setup.py install --help # for available options python setup.py install
