Using TextMate as Mercurial’s Editor
Much like with Git, its easy to use TextMate as the editor that Mercurial will use for commit messages.
- Open your ~/.hgrc file (create it if it doesn’t exist).
- Add this entry to the [ui] section:
[ui] editor = mate -w
- Save the ~/.hgrc file
Next time you do hg commit TextMate will open a temporary file you write your commit message into. Type your message, save the file and then close the window to finish the commit. The -w flag on the mate command tells TextMate not to return control to the command line until the editor window has been closed.
