WormBase Source Code

The WormBase source code is maintained using the distributed SCM system Mercurial. We use BitBucket.org as a convenient place to host the code and track issues:

http://bitbucket.org/tharris/wormbase/

Get Mercurial

http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/

Set up your environment

Minimally, create a file at ~/.hgrc containing:

[ui]
username=First Last <email@example.net>

Checking out the code

The following examples all use Mercurial over http. You can also use mercurial over ssh.

cd ~/projects
$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/tharris/wormbase/

Pulling in Changes and Updates

$ hg pull -u 

Pushing Changes to the Repository

$ hg push 

Reference: Migrating to Mercurial

After creating the repository on BitBucket, I cloned it and populated with a exported version of source from SVN.

$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/harris/wormbase
$ mv ~/wormbase.svn/* wormbase/.

# Add and commit the files
$ hg add
$ hg commit -m 'Initial import of my old svn repository'

# Push the changes back to BitBucket
$ hg push
