<h1>Overview<a class="headerlink" href="#overview" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Let&#8217;s get started using hg-review.  No matter how you want to use it, you need
to install it first!</p>
<div class="section" id="installation">
<h2>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>hg-review requires <a class="reference external" href="http://python.org">Python</a> 2.5 or later and <a class="reference external" href="http://hg-scm.org">Mercurial</a> 1.4 or later</p>
<p>You probably have both of these requirements already, but if you encounter
problems you might want to check these first with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">--version</span></tt> and
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hg</span> <span class="pre">--version</span></tt>.</p>
<p>hg-review also depends on a couple of other things like <a class="reference external" href="http://flask.pocoo.org">Flask</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://jinja.pocoo.org/2/">Jinja2</a>, but it
bundles these requirements so you don&#8217;t need to worry about them.</p>
<p>To install hg-review, first clone the extension somewhere:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>hg clone http://bitbucket.org/sjl/hg-review/</pre>
</div>
<p>Then add it to your <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.hgrc</span></tt> file:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>[extensions]
review = [path to]/hg-review/review/</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="usage">
<h2>Usage<a class="headerlink" href="#usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The easiest way to work with hg-review is with the <a class="reference external" href="webui.html"><em>web interface</em></a>.  There&#8217;s also a command-line interface, but it&#8217;s really easiest to
work with the web ui.</p>
<div class="section" id="projects-with-existing-code-reviews">
<h3>Projects with Existing Code Reviews<a class="headerlink" href="#projects-with-existing-code-reviews" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>If you want to work with a repository that already has code review set up, all
you need to do is cd into that repository, run <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hg</span> <span class="pre">review</span> <span class="pre">--init</span></tt> to pull
down the review data, and then run <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hg</span> <span class="pre">review</span> <span class="pre">--web</span></tt> to fire up the web ui.</p>
<p>Once that&#8217;s done you can visit <a class="reference external" href="http://localhost:8080/">http://localhost:8080/</a> in your browser to start
reviewing.</p>
<p>You should read over the <a class="reference external" href="concepts.html"><em>concepts</em></a> documentation to make sure
you know how hg-review works, and the <a class="reference external" href="webui.html"><em>web interface</em></a>
documentation for a quick tour of how to use the web ui.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="projects-without-existing-code-reviews">
<h3>Projects without Existing Code Reviews<a class="headerlink" href="#projects-without-existing-code-reviews" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>If you want to <em>start</em> using hg-review with a repository, you need to do a few
things to get it ready.</p>
<p>First, create a repository to hold the code review data. This repository should
be in a location that&#8217;s accessible by anyone that needs to see the review data.</p>
<p>For example, if you&#8217;re working on an open-source project that&#8217;s hosted at
<a class="reference external" href="http://bitbucket.org/you/project/">http://bitbucket.org/you/project/</a> you should create a new repository for
the review data at <a class="reference external" href="http://bitbucket.org/you/project-review/">http://bitbucket.org/you/project-review/</a></p>
<p>Next you&#8217;ll need to initialize the review data in your project. <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cd</span></tt> into you
project&#8217;s directory and run:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>hg review --init --remote-path URL</pre>
</div>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">URL</span></tt> should be the URL of the review repo you just created.</p>
<p>This will create a local review data repo for you, as well as an <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.hgreview</span></tt>
file in your project. You need to commit this <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.hgreview</span></tt> file to your
project with the command that hg-review suggested.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, this is the only time hg-review will make you commit something to
your project&#8217;s repository and clutter up its changelog.</p>
<p>Now you can get to work reviewing changesets with the web interface by
running <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hg</span> <span class="pre">review</span> <span class="pre">--web</span></tt> in your project.</p>
<p>You should read over the <a class="reference external" href="concepts.html"><em>concepts</em></a> documentation to make sure
you know how hg-review works, and the <a class="reference external" href="webui.html"><em>web interface</em></a>
documentation for a quick tour of how to use the web ui.</p>
