Alerting myself of uncommitted changes

Evan Carter1

I've just set up SourceTree and BitBucket (with Mercurial) so that I can track revisions of my personal scripts and libraries and access them from other machines on occasion. I'm concerned about forgetting to commit changes I make, so I'd like to set up a cron job (or actually, a launchd job, since I'm using a Mac) to check for uncommitted changes and alert me if there are any. I'm new to cloud source control, but I think what I want is to run the equivalent of "hg diff". My working copy will always be in the same place. I ran "Install command line tools" in SourceTree but as far as I can tell that only gave me a tool called stree that serves a different purpose. What should I do? Should I install regular command line Mercurial (looks like from http://mercurial.berkwood.com/) or will that installation fight with SourceTree?

You can choose which hg binaries you want to use in SourceTree preference which means you can use both binaries at the same time.

I used this (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/7486/cronnix) to run bash scripts. You could create your own scripts and check if there are any files that are not changed:

hg diff -r START -r END

You can test out the various scenarios, grep the output and do something with it (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57412/how-can-i-trigger-a-notification-center-notification-from-an-applescript-or-shel)

Thank you, Timothy. Am I right that SourceTree's embedded Mercurial is not accessible (e.g., from the command line)?

Timothy

Not sure. Never tried to find them before.

Does SourceTree for Mac have a terminal button? If so, does it launch a terminal emulator (on windows it launches mingw), or just the standard Mac terminal in a special location?

Thank you, everyone. For posterity the command I wanted was:

/Applications/SourceTree.app/Contents/Resources/mercurial_local/hg_local diff
