Description

Mercurial SCM (Source Control Management) is a free, open-source version control system designed for managing source code and other digital files. It is designed to be easy to use, fast, and to work well with distributed teams. Mercurial enables developers to work collaboratively on projects, allowing them to track changes, revert back to previous versions, and manage branches. It is a distributed version control system, meaning that each user has their own local copy of the repository. This allows developers to work independently without requiring constant communication with a central server. It also makes it easier to recover from mistakes, as each user has a backup of the entire project history. Mercurial includes a range of features such as branching, tagging, and merging, as well as a powerful command line interface and graphical user interface. It is used by many popular open source projects and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
