    <title>Starting a new project</title>

    <para>It is just as easy to begin a new project as to work on one
      that already exists.  The <command>hg init</command> command
      creates a new, empty Mercurial repository.</para>

    &interaction.ch01-new.init;

    <para>This simply creates a repository named
      <filename>myproject</filename> in the current directory.</para>

    &interaction.ch01-new.ls;

    <para>We can tell that <filename>myproject</filename> is a
      Mercurial repository, because it contains a
      <filename>.hg</filename> directory.</para>

    &interaction.ch01-new.ls2;

    <para>If we want to add some pre-existing files to the repository,
      we copy them into place, and tell Mercurial to start tracking
      them using the <command>hg add</command> command.</para>

    &interaction.ch01-new.add;

    <para>Once we are satisfied that our project looks right, we
      commit our changes.</para>

    &interaction.ch01-new.commit;

    <para>It takes just a few moments to start using Mercurial on a
      new project, which is part of its appeal. Revision control is
      now so easy to work with, we can use it on the smallest of
      projects that we might not have considered with a more
      complicated tool.</para>
