Commiting to BitBucket with a GUI based tool

bitbucket, mercurial

Solution

There are even instructions for TortoiseHG in the official Bitbucket wiki, three pages after the link you posted.

Check this out: Fork a Repo, Compare Code, and Create a Pull Request

Yes, the page is about forking a repository in the first place using the Bitbucket web GUI. But once you have forked a repository, the steps to get it on your machine, change it and push back to the server are exactly the same.

These two steps in the link above describe the exact workflow, including TortoiseHG screenshots:

- Step 2. Clone your fork

- Step 3. Make a change to the repository source

You can also read A Quick Start Guide to TortoiseHg in the official TortoiseHG documentation. (Step 4.8 "Fetching from the group repository" describes cloning.)

Problem

I am following the steps listed here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Set+up+Git+and+Mercurial?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=blank_repo and created a Mercurial repo and have also installed TurtoiseHG ...but still when the tutorial goes to the section on how to add code to this repo from our local machine, it is sill doing it via command line and those unix like commands that always freak me out :) So there isn't a GUI tool like the one we have for TurtoiseSVN to just right click on a working copy and boom! commit.
