Elegant version control - simpler than Git, yet as much powerful!

Quite easy for beginners to get hands-on experience with version control HTTPS- or SSH-based flexible authentication Simplified branching for hassle-free feature developments and version management Extension system for incrementally enabling advanced features Most commands are simpler than corresponding equivalents in Git etc Ability to run local Mercurial servers for demonstration/syncing purposes Good IDE support, often via solid third-party plugins Deep OS/filesystem integration (e.g. context menus) via TortoiseHg and similar utilities

Reasonable feature set that enables alternate workflows

Like most source code control systems, Mercurial tries to force a particular methodology on its users for no good reason. However, the underlying system is sufficiently powerful and there are enough extensions available that it's possible to work around this bias. The "every repo can be a server" capability is also very important.

Very usefull revision-control tool for dev

The like that this revision-control tool is distribuited. So you can commit on your local system the changes that you make and when everything is done you can push the changes on a remote system.

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.
