Hey devs,
I apologize in advance for my naivety...
I asked this in IRC, and Kacper was kind enough to provide some insight, but alas I was still having problems getting this to work. I know it involves bookmarks and heads, but I'm still not as familiar with mercurial as I am with git, so this all confuses my gitsense. Also, I know there are others who have this issue - perhaps this should be on the docs page somewhere...
Bookmarks are actually unnecessary.
Let's say I have my fork of yt wherein I already have a pending PR on BB. I can't simply make changes to my fork and push them in the default branch/bookmark because BB likes to automagically update PRs.
What is the recommended procedure for committing and pushing new changes to my fork so that I can issue an additional PR? Do I create a bookmark, then commit my changes, then push that bookmark to BB? If so, how then can I issue a PR from that bookmark - I can't seem to find this on the BB interface.
Maybe this is a little awkward because it requires me to look at the current state of the yt_analysis/yt repo, but it works for me. First, I take a look at this page: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/commits/branch/yt You want to update to the current tip of the yt branch (right now, this is the commit f663cb9): hg pull https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt hg up f663cb9 This will update away from your current PR head. Next, you need to do some work, fix a bug, whatever, and then commit it: <do work> hg commit -m "I did some work" This will create a new local head. Next, you push the new head to bitbucket: hg push -r . -f https://bitbucket.org/my_username/yt "push -r ." means "push only the commit I'm standing on and any ancestors". I needed to force push since I'm creating a new remote head. Now you can create your PR on the bitbucket interface. Bookmarks come in at the point where you create the new head. Instead of just <do work>, I could have created a new bookmark: hg bookmark mybookmark <do work> hg commit -m "I did some work" push push -B mybookmark -f https://bitbucket.org/my_username/yt The bookmark just names the commit head. I tend not to use bookmarks for one-commit bugfixes but they're definitely useful for longer lived work. Hope that's made things clearer, Nathan
Chris
