Pretty colors: Syntax Highlighting in Mercurial

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

I recently switched my personal revision control system from subversion to mercurial. One of the great things about mercurial is the built-in web interface, but I missed the syntax highlighting that’s available in interfaces such as ViewVC.

I’ve written a mercurial extension that applies pygments

view. This extension is now available in the main mercurial repo.

To enable it, install pygments and add the following entry to hgrc:

[extension]
hgext.highlight =

An example of the output.

Thanks to micha who wrote an initial patch.

Serving mercurial with mod_wsgi

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for serving a mercurial repository with mod_wsgi.

Create a file called hgwebdir.wsgi with these contents:

from mercurial.hgweb.request import wsgiapplication
from mercurial.hgweb.hgwebdir_mod import hgwebdir

def make_web_app():
    return hgwebdir("/path/to/hgweb.config")

application = wsgiapplication(make_web_app)

Add it to the apache configuration:

WSGIScriptAlias /hg /path/to/hgwebdir.wsgi
[optional] To make sure nobody modifies your repository via the http interface, add ‘deny_push = *’ to the ‘[web]‘ group of hgweb.config.

Hopefully this page will save the next person a few minutes of searching.
