I am a newbie.
On my Windows PC, five days ago, with TortoiseHg 5.7, I did a remote commit push of a client Mercurial "default" including one repository, a half-dozen subrepositories, and about 70 files.
On the client side, the operation completed successfully, with no error messages, and it used my terminology, "default-push" to represent my master repository.
On the server side, github.com/nskold, I got the message that nskold has no repositories . I waited a few days for github to empty its queue of files.
Then I defined my first ( public ) repository, named Acutis, on the server side, and waited a day, with none of the 70 files appearing.
After choosing "public", I was presented with 4 choices, named "Quick Setup", etc.
I would like to choose a fifth choice, None of the Above, because TortoiseHg has trained me not to be concerned with ".git" but only to rely on the one mysterious .hg repository.
Instead, I shifted over from the first <> Code button to the ninth Settings button.
There was an annoying advertisement of a Beta for a new Discussions button that was obscuring some unknown text underneath it. I could not simply reposition this advertisement with the drag of a mouse, without pressing one of the 2 buttons on the advertisement.
So I now have a tenth Discussions button, and the advertisement went away.
This unintended action uncovered a button, not merely a piece of text.
It is the Rename button.
I pressed it, and was able to rename my only Acutis repository, under the guise of the strange-looking "Acutis.git", to the new repository name under the guise of the equally strange-looking "default-push.git".
I am hoping that, by tomorrow, the queue will be emptied, and that my 70 files will be viewable for the first time.
