Hg may not get a fair shake

It is easy to learn and has good version control tools.

It's not git, and there's nothing wrong with that

Mercurial is basically equivalent to git, IMO. I liked the support for Windows back when I was doing development on Windows for Windows users. Using git's terminology, I found I could do what I needed to do using only the "porcelain" without resorting to "plumbing" commands.

What is Mercurial Open Source Project?

Mercurial is a fast, scalable distributed version control system (DVCS) designed to efficiently handle projects of any size while providing an easy-to-use and robust interface for tracking the evolution of source code, managing multiple branches, and merging divergent repositories. Distinguished by its performance and flexibility, Mercurial is built for developers who need a dependable tool to manage complex development projects. The tool features a distributed architecture, which means that every developer has a full and self-contained repository on their local machine, facilitating offline work and decentralized collaboration.Mercurial supports an extensible framework for enhancements and can integrate with numerous other development tools. It's known for its straightforward CLI commands and an easy learning curve for new users, making it accessible for both small and large teams. The project's website, https://mercurial.selenic.com/, serves as a central hub for downloading the software, accessing documentation, joining the user community, and following development updates. The site also provides resources to help both beginners and experienced users make the most of Mercurial’s features.
