Can I assign an “alias” to a repository URL in mercurial/kiln?

Question

I keep all my personal projects on my Kiln account and I also have a bitbucket account where I push repositories when I need to share them with people. Is there some way for me to setup an alias for a repo URL so I can do something like

hg push kiln

or

hg push bitbucket

instead of typing in the entire URL each time: hg push https://path/to/repo

Answer 1

Yes, you can do this in your repo's hgrc file using the paths section .

[paths]
default = https://path/to/repo
kiln = https://path/to/kiln
bitbucket = https://path/to/bitbucket

If you create new repos often, you can also add this to your ~/.hgrc file.
