The big advantage of git is github and co, not git itself. By switching and using mercurial you lose all of the advantages of github too.
- midenginedcoupe 4y agoWell that's a different argument. The irony is I use git for all my projects, too, due to the network effect. It's vastly easier to go with the flow rather than swim against the tide. But every time I have to wrestle with un-fucking git's state I find myself considering my life choices and how I got there :(

- mirodin 4y agoAmen to that. I love Fossil for its simplicity and batteries included model. No external ticketing, wiki and documentation to manually keep in sync. Plus everything inside a single SQLite file makes everything easier.
- afiori 4y agoI thought that mercurial was able to push/pull from a git remote.
- tbrugz 4y agoYou can use the hg-git extension for that: https://hg-git.github.io/ https://hg-git.github.io/
- mikro2nd 4y agoOr there's sourcehut so you can use Hg. https://sr.ht https://sr.ht
- laurentlbm 4y agoIt's not as “accessible” though: it's not free and is less user-friendly.
- tristan957 4y agoDuring the alpha, SourceHut is free to use, except for builds.sr.ht, which was abused by crypto script kiddies. I think you can pay as low as 2 dollars a month to use SourceHut.
