mercury

(Hg)


Liquid metal.

When spilled it splits in independent spheres, which 
merge instantly the moment they touch.

Mercurial


(Hg)


Distributed version control system.

Evolution to the documents happen in independent locations, and changes could be easily merged together.

how's it distributed


(pic by dukeofgaming )

looks complicated, but

agree on one node as the "central" is enough



(pic by dukeofgaming )

why would I want distributed?



When you push on the central server, you're not only integrating changes to the codebase, 
you're also inflicting changes to other develoeprs!



Sometimes it's not the case to inflict changes to everyone until you're confident about it, but you still need to share with someone while working on it.

WHY WOULD I WANT mercurial?

(reasons in sparse order...)


  • no need for a server
  • works when offline
  • easy to install and lightweight
  • can do backup clones on other local disks or flash drives
  • free cloud repository hosting available
  • integrated in most development tools
  • extensions
  • easy to use!

how i use it?


For a basic usage you just need few inutuitive commands

hg init


display 

hg log
hg status
hg diff

add and remove to tracking 


hg add
hg forget
hg remove


persist a unit of change 



hg commit

travel in time 


hg update
hg revert

share 


hg push
hg pull

solve conflicts 


hg merge
hg resolve
