Mercurial has an excellent built-in extension for serving your code to other via http.
hg help servebut hasnt have any authentication method.
You can, of course, use ssh to control access to your project, a http server (or wsgi).
Searching on Extensions wiki page, i’ve came up with hg-textauth!
In a few minutes i had textauth extension in my linux box.
Lets get started with:
A.
~/.hgrc
[extensions]
textauth = /FULL_PATH/textauth.py
[textauth]
file= /FULL_PATH/text.auth
B.
touch /FULL_PATH/text.auth
hg authedit -v -c ebal
Enter password: ******
Verify password: ******
That’s it!
Now test it
C.
hg serve
And in another shell (machine/whatever):
D.
hg clone http://example.com:8000 myproject.hg
requesting all changes
http authorization required
realm: mercurial
user: ebal
