Default Push

If you create a local repository, and later want to push it to a remote repo, then you'll need to setup the default-push target.
Put the following in your ./.hg/hgrc file:

[paths]
default = ${REMOTE_REPO}

Authentication

WARNING: You didn't hear this from me... You should never use it (think SSH)

If you're using HTTP to access a repository, you can add the following section to your ~/.hgrc file:

[auth]
svr.prefix = http://my.server/
svr.username = attie
svr.password = supersecret
