            Bug ID: 6923
           Summary: Meta-issue on improving installation and setup
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: pierre.augier at univ-grenoble-alpes.fr
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org
    Python Version: ---

I filled few issues on improving installation and setup. This final issue is
here to recap.

I think it would be very good if any users can get a good Mercurial
configuration with such commands:

```
uv tool install mercurial[rust]
# this line is a bit specific to the shell
echo 'eval "$(hg generate-shell-completion bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc
hg admin-extension --enable topic evolve absorb rebase hg-git
hg config --set ui.name "my_login <toto at univ-grenoble-alpes.fr>"
hg config --set ui.tweakdefaults True
hg config --set alias.lg "log -G"
```

I think this would help a lot if we want to continue to claim that Mercurial is
easy for beginners.
