Citation needed for this.
Mercurial has the best VCS GUI I have ever seen, TortoiseHg. And there are quite a few web UIs supporting Mercurial, namely Kallithea and GitLab’s fork heptapod.net.
- throwaway894345 5y agoI suspect you're confusing API with (G)UI, but in any case here's the citation you requested: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MercurialApi https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MercurialApi > Mercurial's internals are continually evolving to be simpler, more consistent, and more powerful, a process we hope will continue for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, this process means we will regularly be changing interfaces in ways that break third-party code in various (mostly minor) ways. For the vast majority of third party code, the best approach is to use Mercurial's published, documented, and stable API: the command line interface.
