In a way, the default git CLI is just the one alternative git interface that "won".
My favourite one is still hg-git, despite its warts.
- jamesgeck0 9y agoWhen I first started comparing Mercurial and Git, the built-in `hg serve` command that showed a repo view in the browser seemed like a killer feature. Machines running `hg serve` could even be pulled from across the network without any setup. I mean, git had tools that could do that too, but built-in! Then I discovered GitHub.

- lojack 9y agoNot the person that posted this, but they both use merkle trees as their underlying data structure. In both cases you can’t rewrite the past without rewriting every successive change.
