extracted from oh-my-zsh, this is the original README

Update .zshrc:

1. Add name to the list of plugins, e.g. plugins = (..., mercurial, ...) (that is pretty obvious).

2. Change PROMPT variable of current theme to contain current folder mercurial repo info:

   robbyrussel theme is used by default, so you need to modify PROMPT var from this file by adding $(hg_prompt_info) after $(git_prompt_info), so currently it looks next:

   - PROMPT='${ret_status}%{$fg_bold[green]%}%p %{$fg[cyan]%}%c %{$fg_bold[blue]%}$(git_prompt_info)%{$fg_bold[blue]%} % %{$reset_color%}'
   + PROMPT='${ret_status}%{$fg_bold[green]%}%p %{$fg[cyan]%}%c %{$fg_bold[blue]%}$(git_prompt_info)$(hg_prompt_info)%{$fg_bold[blue]%} % %{$reset_color%}'

   and put modified var at the end of .zshrc.

3. Initialize additional vars used in plugin. So in short put next in .zshrc:

   ZSH_THEME_HG_PROMPT_PREFIX="%{$fg_bold[magenta]%}hg:(%{$fg[red]%}"
   ZSH_THEME_HG_PROMPT_SUFFIX="%{$reset_color%}"
   ZSH_THEME_HG_PROMPT_DIRTY="%{$fg[magenta]%}) %{$fg[yellow]%}✗%{$reset_color%}"
   ZSH_THEME_HG_PROMPT_CLEAN="%{$fg[magenta]%})"

This is the same as git plugin does.

Note: additional changes to .zshrc are required in order for this to work.
