However it's also possible to open up the logs of sub folders or individual files to only see their revision history.

If you then you will see the full revision history for the current branch. To open the log, right-click on a folder containing a repository (it will have a hidden subfolder called. The temporary branch that was created can also be deleted by right-clicking on its log entry and choosing Delete refs/head/tmp_branch. To go back to the latest revision of master again, simply right-click on it and choose Switch/Checkout to 'master': Similarly to TortoiseHg, the active revision is highlighted in bold: If you want to revert back to a previous revision without affecting changes already committed, open the log, right-click on the appropriate revision and choose Switch/checkout to this. Have defaults, and obvious ways to get to the non-defaults.To revert back to a previous revision and discard subsequent local changes, open the log, right-click on the appropriate revision and choose Reset master to this. In short, prefer Simplicity over Choices. Could just start with Git Extensions and go from there.

Have the official Windows client be as full featured as the Hg one.Almost none of the online tutorials recommend it, even though it matches much more closely to what Mercurial provides out of the box. This isn’t the official Git Windows client, so you basically have to know it exists to find it. Instead, I point them to Git Extensions, a more fully featured toolset that includes: However, I typically don’t point folks to the official Git client. A CLI through the Git Bash or directly in a command prompt.Windows Explorer integration (very limited).The Git installer is also less featured than the Mercurial one.

So is the right one or not? I might be inclined to search for the last “good” release and not a beta/preview one. Even more confusing is that the file has the name “preview” in it, and the installer is labeled as “Beta”.

The official Git site didn’t mention “msysgit” but now I’m on the msysgit Google Code site. Not to mention, I’m whisked away to a site that has nothing to do with the original Git site. As someone new to Git, how do I know which to choose? Probably the first one, and most people would choose the first one, but presenting choices here is pointless and confusing. There is nothing in this screen that screams “THIS IS THE INSTALLER YOU WANT IGNORE THE OTHERS”.

Instead of linking me directly to the installer file to download immediately, I’m directed to the downloads page of the Google Code site, where I am presented with yet even more options. Clicking on the Windows link takes me to this page: Not a big deal most of the time, but already choices are presented to the end user over the Mercurial site. The Git site is clean enough:Įxcept I have 3 download links instead of one. When searching for Git downloads, you’re primarily directed to one of two sites – the official Git site, or the official Git tools site for Windows, hosted on Google Code (and also GitHub, curiously enough). Next, let’s look at the Git download experience. It’s a completely out-of-the box client that includes EVERYTHING that you might need to run Mercurial, all in one package, and consistently presented to the end user. TortoiseHg is the official Hg client for Windows, and includes: They know what OS you’re using, and display the correct installer accordingly

They both link to the exact same installer.

They link directly to the file to be downloaded.

Both websites offer very clear ways of doing so. When I google “Mercurial” or “Mercurial Windows” or “Mercurial Windows Download” or variants, two of the top results are the official Mercurial home page, or the official Windows client, TortoiseHg.įrom there, I want to download Mercurial. Let’s look at searching and downloading the Mercurial client. Over the next few posts, I’m going to compare the experience of using Git with that of Mercurial, who has, in my opinion, lesser features, but a much MUCH better experience. From the download, installation, integration and CLI experience, it always feels like (in Windows land) that you’re playing in someone else’s back yard. However, the tooling just doesn’t do it justice. It’s very powerful tool that lets me bend my repository to my will, with commands and features that blow the other source control providers I’ve used out of the water.
