Mercurial, different default upstream and downstream path

Question

How do you configure mercurial to use different default remote repos when pull-ing and push-ing (i.e. not specifying that repo's name / path)?

Example:

$ hg pull
pulling from https://pull.from.here

$ hg push
pushing to https://push.to.here

I haven't found this on the StackOverflow yet (this is related, but not what I was looking for), so I answered my own quetion:

You can set a path named default:pushurl, as indicated by hg help config.paths

So, having a .hg/hgrc containing:

[paths]
default = https://pull.from.here
default:pushurl = https://push.to.here

yields:

$ hg pull
pulling from https://pull.from.here

$ hg push
pushing to https://push.to.here

It's a relatively new feature so not surprising it's not on SO. – ngoldbaum Nov 03 '17 at 17:35

`default-push` was the old spelling, and it is still supported. It was mentioned in your link. – Mark Tolonen Nov 04 '17 at 06:42

`hg help paths` or `hg help -c paths` (`hg help config`is a bit long) may help. – aflp91 Nov 05 '17 at 10:22
that's a new thing I learned. thanks :) (`hg help help` will help as well) – clausavram Nov 06 '17 at 12:46
