Ubuntu – How to use TortoiseHG in Nautilus

mercurialnautilus

I'm used to TortoiseHg on Windows. I tried

apt-get install tortoisehg tortoisehg-nautilus

But after the installation I still can't use it by typing

tortoisehg

In the terminal or in the launcher, nor can I right click in a folder and see it in the context menu.

What mercurial GUI works with Unity? If tortoiseHg does, how to use it?

Best Answer

You can run TortoiseHG using command thg (or hgtk in older versions), usually in the directory with Mercurial repo.

To use Nautilus plugin, Nautilus must be restarted first by logging out or executing nautilus -q. You should see TortoiseHG in context menu and File menu then.
