I don't know about workflows specifically, but there is a very good reference [0] about Mercurial's branching models. Maybe this will help you.

- rich_sasha 6y agoThanks for this. This is fairly old now though, and doesn't even mention bookmarks (which I understand to be like git branches, except they aren't (?) synched between repo copies. Then there's some new stuff that apparently are very good, but I can't find a proper description of how they work / should be used.
- BeetleB 6y ago> This is fairly old now though, and doesn't even mention bookmarks. What do you mean? It has a section on it: https://stevelosh.com/blog/2009/08/a-guide-to-branching-in-mercurial/#s6-branching-with-bookmarks https://stevelosh.com/blog/2009/08/a-guide-to-branching-in-m... (I have not audited to see how accurate the information is, though). > Then there's some new stuff that apparently are very good, but I can't find a proper description of how they work / should be used. Yes - I often wished that someone wrote and maintained an article listing all the extensions that one likely will want to use.[1] One you may want to look into is evolve. [1] Maybe someone has written this - I haven't checked in the last few years.
- rich_sasha 6y agoAh my bad, missed it, you’re right.
