About:
git-cinnabar is a Git remote helper that enables seamless interaction with Mercurial repositories directly from a Git client. It allows users to clone, fetch, and push to Mercurial remotes as if they were native Git repositories. This tool eliminates the need for maintaining separate version control systems by bridging the gap between Git and Mercurial workflows.

Key Features:

Native Git commands for Mercurial repositories
Bidirectional synchronization between Git and Mercurial
Preserves Mercurial changesets and metadata
No server-side components required

Use Cases:

Migrating projects from Mercurial to Git
Contributing to Mercurial projects using Git workflow
Maintaining compatibility with legacy Mercurial repositories

Alternatives:

hg-git – Python-based bridge requiring hg and git; git-cinnabar is pure Git extension with better performance
git-remote-hg – Similar remote helper but less actively maintained; git-cinnabar offers more features and active development
