Installation
============
Installing `hg-prompt` requires [Python][] 2.5+ and (obviously) Mercurial.
[Python]: http://python.org/
First, clone the repository:
$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/sjl/hg-prompt/
Edit the `[extensions]` section in your `~/.hgrc` file:
[extensions]
prompt = (path to)/prompt.py
Make sure everything is working:
$ hg prompt 'test'
test
Take a look at the [Quick Start][] guide to learn how to put some useful
information into your shell prompt.
