Workflow organization with Mercurial and Netbeans (+ bitbucket.org?)

Question

I have never worked with version control systems before. Now I'm trying to learn Mercurial, but I'm confused (I already read about 10-15 articles + hginit.com). I do not know how to organize the workflow.

I have a test server and a production server. I work from my office computer and from my home laptop. I make changes directly to the test server, and every week or so I copy the new code to my production server. I also need wiki / issues / etc. almost everything bitbucket.org has. I know this is a bad way to do things.

Is there a tutorial or articles on how to organize a workflow? I would also like to appreciate any diagrams / sketches describing the process.

Thanks!

Using Bitbucket

Once you have created an account.

• You should be able to create a repo with the appropriate URL. You can then clone it to create a local repository. Check the start of work .
• Refer to the BitBucket Update Click .
• BitBucket comes with very extensive documentation .

There are also other useful tools for working with BitBucket:

• BitbucketExtension , which allows you to use the command line for multiple operations.
• Using Mercurial Queues and bitbucket.org

Workflow organization

You will need to develop a workflow that suits you. In your case, it looks like you have a test server and a production server.

So, you can set up two repositories, one for the test server, one for production. You can make push for server testing automatic so that you can immediately test the changes. You can tag releases that are then posted to the production server.

• Your local repo can be used to post changes to the test server.
• You can click the approved changes marked in the BitBucket repository.
