Note for readers: in this article I will show how to configure author name on Windows PC for future Mercurial commits. It won’t contain information how to change author for commits which were already done.
If you work with different repositories sometime it may be necessary to change Author field displayed in commits history. On Windows PCs in order to do that go to C:\Users\{username} and edit mercurial.ini file:
[ui]
username = developer
In this example “developer” is the user name which will be displayed in Author field. If you will now open TortoiseHG Workbench tool new user name should be displayed in Author column.
