"TortoiseHg - Simple and Efficient"
What do you like best about TortoiseHg?

Tortoise HG is a simple and efficient tool for handling the version control system. The best thing about it is that it has most of the frequently used features in the form of menus and buttons and provide GUI to understand the versioning system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TortoiseHg?

Sometimes we feel like the GUI is a bit old, and the versioning tree seems confusing when viewing in the old GUI. It has a lot of alternatives that came into the market recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Forget TortoiseHG and use Git. Everyone else already does!"
What do you like best about TortoiseHg?

When we were still using Mercurial repositories across our organization, TortoiseHG was the best free tool to manage our code repositories. There was nothing specific to like about it; it just worked as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TortoiseHg?

The UI is very outdated, and it was a little buggy at times also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It works great for college projects and learning about versioning."
What do you like best about TortoiseHg?

During my software engineering process, it helped me a lot in the collaborative work between the members of the same project. The servers were on the university's network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TortoiseHg?

I did not find free servers for my academic purposes. Therefore it depended on the availability of the university servers and the people who support them. A little bit difficult to my goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TortoiseHg?

TortoiseHg UI provides a lot of features to effectively manage repositories without having to know underlying commands. I have also used workbench for manage local repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TortoiseHg?

UI is less modern. Other tools are more modern view and provide ease of use. It took me a while to get hang of the tool. However, once onboarded it was smooth throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
