<p>The Workbench is the primary TortoiseHg application. It allows you
to browse your local repositories, make commits, perform searches,
synchronize with other repositories, and perform various maintenance
tasks. Nearly every Mercurial feature is accessible from the Workbench.</p>
<div class="figure" id="id7">
<img alt="Workbench" src="_images/workbench.png" />
<p class="caption"><span class="caption-text">Workbench dialog.</span></p>
</div>
<p>Workbench Main Widgets are:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><dl class="docutils">
<dt><span class="guilabel">Revision History View</span></dt>
<dd>A tabbed widget to view multiple repositories at once. The different
columns show general information about each changeset in the graphlog.
You can configure the columns to show from the menu via
<span class="menuselection">View ‣ Choose Log Columns…</span>, and there you can reorder
the columns too. This is the main or central widget of the Workbench
application.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Repository Registry</span></dt>
<dd>This widget, by default shown on the left, allows to manage multiple
repositories from the Workbench. You can show/hide it via
<span class="menuselection">View ‣ Show Repo Registry</span> or with the corresponding button
in the Dock Toolbar. It’s also a dockable widget.
The <span class="menuselection">View ‣ Show Paths</span> menu option allows to not only view
the names of the repositories but also their path in a second column.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Output Log</span></dt>
<dd>This dockable widget, which can be shown/hidden with
<span class="menuselection">View ‣ Show Output Log</span>, gives the user information about
the Mercurial commands that were executed during the current session.
You can also use it as a commandline by typing Mercurial commands at its
prompt directly. It shows any error messages when appropriate. Content
is wiped when the Workbench is closed.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Task Tabs</span></dt>
<dd>The lower right part of the Workbench is occupied by a stack of widget
where you can perform various frequent tasks. It is a tabbed widget.
See further for more detail about each one.</dd>

<p>There is some relation between the revision or patch selected in the graph pane,
and the task tabs.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Clicking on the Working Directory automatically switches to the Commit task tab.</li>
<li>Clicking on any revision other than the Working Directory switches to the
Revision Details task tab.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can overrule this standard behaviour by doing an <kbd class="kbd docutils literal notranslate">ALT-Click</kbd> for making
your selection. This preserves the current task tab, no matter what revision or
patch you select. Cursor selection movements also do not switch task tabs.</p>

<div class="section" id="filter-toolbar">
<h2>5.4.6. Filter Toolbar<a class="headerlink" href="#filter-toolbar" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<div class="figure" id="id15">
<img alt="Filter Toolbar" src="_images/filter-toolbar.png" />
<p class="caption"><span class="caption-text">Filter features for the Workbench.</span></p>
</div>
<p>The filter bar allows one to quickly filter the changesets panel. It is based
on the Revision Sets feature of Mercurial.
See <a class="reference external" href="https://www.mercurial-scm.org/doc/hg.1.html#revsets">hg.1.html#revsets</a>
for details on how to specify revision sets.
The toolbar can be toggled with <kbd class="kbd docutils literal notranslate">Ctrl-S</kbd>. Parts from left to right:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><dl class="docutils">
<dt><span class="guilabel">Clear</span></dt>
<dd>Clears the search lineedit. Essentially disables all filters.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Filter entry</span></dt>
<dd>Here you can type a filtering condition. The widget is a combobox,
holding a history of previous filtering conditions.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Trigger</span></dt>
<dd>Applies the condition set by the filter.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Open</span></dt>
<dd>Opens the RevSet dialog. There you can select and/or enter your
condition in a combined way via point-and-click and by typing.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Delete</span></dt>
<dd>Deletes the selected query.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Toggle filter</span></dt>
<dd>Applies the filter condition by sowing changesets that don’t conform
to it in a color suggesting insensitiveness, so the selected ones
stand out more.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Branch options</span></dt>
<dd>A few options for showing branches.
See <span class="menuselection">Repo Settings ‣ Workbench ‣ Dead Branches</span> for
a method to prune names from this combo box.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Branches combo</span></dt>
<dd>A combo box with the list of named branches in your repository.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Custom Filter Combo</span></dt>
<dd>Finally there is a combo box that selects among the various
filter types that can be manually specified.</dd>
</dl>
</div></blockquote>
<p>If the repository tab is previewing incoming changesets, a pair of
buttons are prepended to the start of the filter bar:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><dl class="docutils">
<dt><span class="guilabel">Accept</span></dt>
<dd>Accept (pull) the changesets from the previewed bundle. This
button is only visible when previewing a changeset bundle.
The after-pull effect is respected after pulling from a bundle.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Reject</span></dt>
<dd>Reject the changesets from the previewed bundle and exit preview
mode. This button is only visible when previewing a changeset
bundle.</dd>
</dl>
</div></blockquote>
<p>The Workbench will attempt to lookup the entered search phrase in the
repository to see if it matches a tag, bookmark, branch name, changeset
hash, or revision number. If no changeset match is found, the Workbench
checks if the search phrase has any parentheses. If no parentheses are
found, the Workbench assumes the search is a keyword and performs a
<strong class="command">keyword()</strong> revision set search. If parentheses are found, the
Workbench assumes the search phrase is a revision set specification and
attempts to resolve the set.</p>
<p>If you need to perform a keyword search that includes parentheses, use
<strong class="command">keyword("PHRASE(FOO)")</strong>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="revision-graph-details">
<h2>5.4.7. Revision Graph Details<a class="headerlink" href="#revision-graph-details" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The graph column shows the child-parent relationships between revisions
in your repository history. This column auto-sizes for as many lines of
ancestry that are required to visualize the revisions you have loaded.
The column has an initial hard-limit width to prevent some degenerative
cases from breaking the viewer, but can be resized after refreshes.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="performance-implications">
<h2>5.4.8. Performance Implications<a class="headerlink" href="#performance-implications" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>There are some Workbench features that could have performance implications in
large repositories.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><dl class="docutils">
<dt><span class="menuselection">View ‣ Choose Log columns…</span></dt>
<dd>Enabling the <span class="guilabel">Changes</span> column can be expensive to calculate
on repositories with large working copies, causing both refreshes and
scrolling to be slow.</dd>
<dt><span class="menuselection">View ‣ Load all</span></dt>
<dd>Normally, when the user scrolls through the history, chunks of changesets
are read as you scroll. This menu choice allows you to have the Workbench
read all the changesets from the repository, probably allowing smoother
moving through the history.</dd>

can be configured at a time, it is typically configured in the
repository’s <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.hg/hgrc</span></code> file. There are two keys: issue.regex and
issue.link. The first defines the regex to match when picking up issue
numbers, while the second defines the command to run when an issue
number is recognized.</p>
<p>You may include groups in issue.regex, and corresponding {n} tokens in
issue.link (where n is a non-negative integer). {0} refers to the entire
string matched by issue.regex, while {1} refers to the first group and
so on. If no {n} tokens are found in issue.link, the entire matched
string is appended instead.</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>BitBucket:
issue.regex = #(\d+)\b
issue.link = https://bitbucket.org/<your project and repo>/issue/{1}/
Mercurial:
issue.regex = \bissue(\d+)\b
issue.link = https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id={1}
</pre></div>

<div class="section" id="output-log-console">
<h2>5.4.12. Output Log Console<a class="headerlink" href="#output-log-console" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The console built into the Workbench Output Log dock widget can run
Mercurial (hg) commands, TortoiseHg (thg) commands, a couple special
commands, and limited shell commands. Commands are always executed in
the root of the current repository. The prompt is updated to keep you
aware of the context.</p>
<p>If the command line begins with ‘hg’, the Mercurial command is run in
TortoiseHg’s execution environment; meaning output is sent to the log
widget and input requests are handled by dialog windows.</p>
<p>If the command line begins with ‘thg’, the requested command is run in a
new window but in the same process. For instance ‘thg ci’ will open a
new commit tool window for the current repository.</p>
<p>It the command is ‘clear’ (or ‘cls’), the output log contents are
erased.</p>
<p>If the command is ‘exit’, the output log window is closed.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the command line is forwarded to your platform’s default
command shell with a limited execution context. There is no stdin while
stdout and stderr are piped to the output log.</p>

<h2>5.4.14. Configurables<a class="headerlink" href="#configurables" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The Workbench has a few configurable options that can be set in
the TortoiseHg Settings dialog on the Workbench tab.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><dl class="docutils">
<dt><span class="guilabel">Author coloring</span></dt>
<dd>If true, each author’s changeset will be given a unique color</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Long Summary</span></dt>
<dd>Concatenate commit message lines until 80 chars are reached</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Graph batch limit</span></dt>
<dd>Number of revisions to read in each batch load</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Dead Branches</span></dt>
<dd>Comma separated list of branch names that should be ignored
when building a list of branch names for a repository.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Branch Colors</span></dt>
<dd>Space separated list of branch names and colors on the
form branch:#XXXXXX. Spaces and colons in the branch name must be
escaped using a backslash (\). Likewise some other characters
can be escaped in this way, e.g. \u0040 will be decoded to the
@ character, and \n to a linefeed.</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Hide Tags</span></dt>
<dd>Space separated list of tags that will not be shown. Useful
example: Specify “qbase qparent qtip” to hide the standard tags
inserted by the Mercurial Queues Extension.</dd>
</dl>
</div></blockquote>
<p>The exact colors given to particular users can be configured by adding
lines like these to your <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Mercurial.ini</span></code> file:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[</span><span class="n">tortoisehg</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="n">authorcolor</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">USERNAME</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">color</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The Workbench also respects the following settings on the
TortoiseHg tab:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><dl class="docutils">
<dt><span class="guilabel">Tab Width</span></dt>
<dd>Number of spaces to expand tabs in diffs</dd>
<dt><span class="guilabel">Max Diff Size</span></dt>
<dd>Maximum size of file to be diffed</dd>
</dl>
