I find mercurial (I referred to that above as Hg) to be more or less the same as Git. Their CLI commands are very very similar.
What specifically are you complaining about here?
- alkonaut 9y agoI think hg is more consistent, more polished, and sometimes involves a bit fewer steps to accomplish the same tasks. One of the best (and funniest) criticisms of the git command line is the famous git koans. http://stevelosh.com/blog/2013/04/git-koans/ http://stevelosh.com/blog/2013/04/git-koans/ git branch -d git remote rm Is a prime example of how, if you designed it from scratch, you wouldn't leave inconsistent. "List things", "delete things" etc are activities that should work the same for all kinds of objects. the Git cli isn't designed with that thought. It's organically grown and every change is more or less irreversible because the human interface UI is used in programming (What I like to think of as the biggest flaw of Unix)
