• Automatically Update a Remote Mercurial Repository With Redmine

  26 Feb 2011 · #redmine #version control #bash #cron #hg

  I recently started using Redmine to keep track of my freelance projects. I've found it to fit most of my needs. For the price — free — you can't complain about anything. Some handy features include issue tracking, time tracking, wiki, file storage & upload (intended for software "packages"), and repository integration. This tutorial focuses on the repo integration feature. Let's assume that you're a progressive developer and have taken to using a "social coding" platform such as GitHub for git or BitBucket for Mercurial. I happen to use both. I prefer Mercurial over git, but you are welcome to your own opinions. Since you keep your code in the cloud and not on your own private server, then you'll need to integrate Redmine into that remote repository. I prefer to use private key encryption since the types of projects I use Redmine for are not public code bases. I also want to back up my repository on my own server. So that now I've got it in three places; BitBucket, my server, and my dev machine.
