How can I set up netbeans to push to a password protected mercurial repository?

Question

I have decided to use Netbeans and Mercurial for my latest project (after no end of headaches with Visual Studio). My Mercurial repository is set up and I can do anything like with it, from the command line.

Specifically, I can push and pull my code all day long by using an ssh:// login on the command line. However, when I use Netbeans Share->Push option, it simply hangs because it doesn't have my password.

How can I configure it to either prompt me for a password, store my password, or use an SSH key?

Answer 1

If you wanna use ssh, see this faq.

For http/https, you may add to .hg/hgrc following lines:

[paths]
default = https://username:[email protected]/repo

Answer 2

In your mercurial config :

ssh = C:\path\plink -l user -pw password
