<h1>Learning Mercurial in Workflows</h1>

<p>With Mercurial you can use a multitude of different workflows. This page shows some of them, including their use cases. It is intended to make it easy for Beginners of Version tracking to get going instantly and learn completely incrementally. It doesn't explain the concepts used, because there are already many other great resources doing that, for example <a title="Understanding Mercurial" href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/UnderstandingMercurial">the wiki</a> and <a title="Behind the Scenes" href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/behind-the-scenes.html">the hgbook</a>.</p>

<p>If you want a more exhaustive tutorial with the basics, please have a look at the <a title="Mercurial Tutorial" href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/Tutorial">Tutorial in the Mercurial Wiki</a>. For a really detailed and very nice to read description of Mercurial, please have a look at <a title="Mercurial: The definitive Guide" href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial: The definitive Guide</a>.</p>

<p>This guide doesn't require any prior knowledge of version control systems (though subversion users will likely feel at home quite quickly). Basic commandline abilities are helpful, because we'll use the commandline client. <!--If you already know other systems, please check our transition guides: svn, cvs, git, bzr --></p>
