About:
Git Remote Hg is a Git remote helper that enables seamless interaction with Mercurial repositories using standard Git commands. It creates a transparent bridge, allowing developers to clone, fetch, and push to Hg repos as if they were native Git remotes. This tool eliminates the need for complex conversion processes, streamlining workflows for those transitioning between the two version control systems.
Key Features:
  • Transparent bidirectional operation
  • Uses standard Git commands (clone, fetch, push)
  • Preserves history and branch structures
  • No repository conversion required
Use Cases:
  • Working on a project hosted in Mercurial while using a local Git workflow
  • Migrating a codebase from Mercurial to Git incrementally
  • Collaborating with teams using different version control systems
Alternatives:
  • hg-git – hg-git is a Mercurial extension, whereas git-remote-hg is a Git remote helper, offering a more Git-centric workflow.
