Branching with Mercurial¶

In our trial and error to make branches without clodding the repository we came across an article that explains how branching works with Mercurial.

Note

Do not branch!

It’s a good article, however there is often no need to branch; its even forbidden in this repro

Remember, making a fork (server-side clone) is simular: a split in development, to be joined later.

If you want to reach a directory fast in CMD, you can simple go to the folder in Explorer and type “cmd” in the address bar.
