What do you guys think about mercurial (hg)?

I think it has no place in a world where git exists and I prefer git.

Just wondering what the general sentiment is

@okee and at other times its a hot topic

@okee yeah, one could say the level goes up and down. At this moment, it's low.

aHg, just leave it be.

Thank you 😊 is it mercury free though?

@okee IS IT A LIE?!

I'm just curious.. why is it so criticized?

@lebucur toxic gases if I remember correctly

@host127001 you're correct.

@irene as long as you don't drop it it's fine though. But if you bought it recently it's not mercurial but alcohol if I'm not mistaken

It's cool though, an old teacher of mine brought a jar or mercury to my highschool. It was completely taped shut and actually quite heavy.

@irene you're absolutely right

Well this went exactly as planned 🤣

I actually learned version control with mercurial and going from that to git was really easy, as the commands are very similar.

Looking back, I think it's better for learning, because history is immutable (from what I remember), so you can't fuck things up by removing commits or something.

But I still prefer git.

Hg is good. Git is better.

Hg works, is very limited git is better.
