I’m pumped a search for hg+mercurial had hits in this thread. I am and will continue to be completely blown that hg lost the dvcs wars. It’s a better tool.

I’m pumped a search for hg+mercurial had hits in this thread. I am and will continue to be completely blown that hg lost the dvcs wars. It’s a better tool.
- gmueckl 2y agoIt is the unquestioningly better tool right now. It's available, stable, battle-tested and it's actively supported. It's a case of "being the change you want to see". Just use it. Claims that it lost are counterproductive. The implicit deterrence from those statements is what is actively keeping Mercurial's adoption low. Hosting is available at least from Sourcehut and heptapod.host. I'm running a private Heptapod instance (Gitlab fork with direct Mercurial support). It just works.
- greazy 2y agoAre there any public forges that support hg?
- gmueckl 2y agoHave a look at heptapost.host for paid hosting and foss.heptapod.net for free public hosting for OSS. Is that what you are looking for?
- romaniitedomum 2y ago> Are there any public forges that support hg? Sourceforge, Sourcehut, and GNU Savannah all support Mercurial.
- dgfitz 2y agoI use it every day!
- paulddraper 2y agoIt's the slower tool.
- guenthert 2y agoThat was relevant to Linus in the early 2000s, but then, we didn't have NVMe SSDs.
- paulddraper 2y agoIt is still noticeably slower on a large codebase.
- dgfitz 2y agoI don’t mind if it is slightly slower, if that is even true anymore. Turns out while hg clone, pull, or whatever is running, I can do other things!
- thatsthejoke 2y agoThat sounds interesting. Does anyone have a GitHub link?
- fschmidt2 2y agoModern scum (members of depraved modern culture) always prefer what is worse over what is better, so of course they prefer Git over Mercurial. Anyone who wants Mercurial hosting can use my hosting: https://hg.reactionary.software/ https://hg.reactionary.software/
