Review on Mercurial by Michael Lucas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool especially useful thanks

I like that it's open-source software so you can see how things are built in order to make improvements yourself or contribute back when something isn't working as expected (or not at all). The UI looks really dated compared with some other solutions out there though - if this bothers anyone please let me know! We're using hg for our versioning needs within Jenkins pipelines but also have used git before without issues; we've only had minor problems here which were easily resolved by looking up answers online rather than asking support directly :) Easy to learn and use as it is very intuitive. You can also set up your own rules for merging different branches together. The UI and the fact that you cannot have multiple heads at once are two things I think could be improved. If you are looking for a simple git alternative, then this might not be what you need. We wanted to solve some issues we had with our code repository. Our previous one was just too complicated and lacked features. This has helped us with that.
