I installed Mercurial via HomeBrew, which puts it into /usr/local/Cellar/mercurial . This means I can't use the system Mercurial in SourceTree, because it complains about the location. Any work arounds for this?
I'm not familiar with HomeBrew. Can you put a symlink to mercurial in the location SourceTree expects?
Apparently SourceTree is on to that kind of trick.
At this point it might be helpful to share what error messages you're getting.
"Mercurial was not found on on your system in the standard locations; the SourceTree internal version will be used."
I have Mercurial installed using Homebrew, this path worked for me:
/usr/local/Cellar/mercurial/3.8.4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mercurial
Note: you may have to tweak the mercurial version number. Also, when I attempted to link to the hg file in /usr/local/Cellar/mercurial/3.8.4/bin/ or the link in /usr/local/bin/hg it did not work.
SourceTree has the same problem with git and gpg, somehow it doesn't like symlinks which is very annoying on an *nix system.
