Ah, miss creating CLs and using fig. I now use git but always liked fig/mercurial better and wish it had won the version control space. When people ask me what I liked about mercurial, I tell them that I could rebase, cherry pick, branch and do whatever else I could think of without needing to Google it or going to stackoverflow, it was just intuitive. I can’t seem to grok git that way. Any time I need to do anything more than branch, stage, commit, push, I have to google and read man pages.
- sanderjd 5y agoYep, mercurial is great, much better design at the API level, though I don't know the internals of either of them. Fig is pretty good but it feels a lot slower than git; I think it's doing more stuff remotely than I expect it to.
- alwillis 5y ago+1 for Mercurial.
- martinvonz 5y agoIf you like Fig and want a similar (but better, IMO) UX that can be used with Git repos, you may want to try my project: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj https://github.com/martinvonz/jj. It's also pretty fast (can rebase >1k commits in <1s in the Git source repo, for example). I'm on the Fig team at Google, but the project is my own.
- sanderjd 5y agoCool! Thanks for the link!
