Move to Mercurial #81

Closed hydratic closed 6 years ago

hydratic commented 6 years ago

I recently migrated from GitHub to Mercurial, and I'm liking what I'm seeing. Sourcetree support, a basic TUI interface, self-hosted but very minimal on resources... If anyone else agrees let me know, but this is the path I have taken.

It is awesome.

We can build a portal for mercurial projects which replaces github pages, or readme section. And supply index on world wide web.

Mercurial is slower than git and has a very different branching model

Git is a revision control system, a tool to manage your source code history.

GitHub is a hosting service for Git repositories.

So they are not the same thing: Git is the tool, GitHub is the service for projects that use Git.

@fn-main I've look at mercurial too, but I do not find --depth=1 git alternative. Do you know how to get only latest versions of files in mercurial?

Sourcetree supports Git.

lil5 commented 6 years ago

@stevenvachon So does GitLab, BitBucket, Sourceforge, and all the other Git hosters out there.

Here's a list for choice: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitHosting

I was referring to the original comment where Sourcetree was listed as a reason to move to Mercurial.

hydratic commented 6 years ago

Sourcetree has support for mercurial too

Hello,

The GitHub Evacuation Project has moved to GitLab (not an endorsement or even a final home). Your enthusiasm and contribution is still needed. Please check out the new project home, and read the project wiki for info to get restarted.

Thank you!
